Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

4 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar adjust based on sweetness of peaches
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for flavor

For the Crisp Topping

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats not instant
1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for flavor
1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance flavor
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Prepare the Peach Filling

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the crisp cooks evenly and the topping becomes golden brown.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until the peaches are well coated. The sugar will draw out the juices from the peaches, and the cornstarch will help thicken the filling as it bakes.
Transfer the peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Make the Crisp Topping

In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour in the melted butter and stir using a spatula until the mixture is crumbly and well combined. The butter will help bind the ingredients together and create a crispy texture.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish.

Bake the Crisp

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. This bubbling indicates that the peaches are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the filling set slightly, making it easier to serve.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
