There’s something undeniably magical about a warm dessert that speaks of summer evenings and childhood memories, and let me tell you, peach crisp is the epitome of that delicious nostalgia.

Lucky for you, this peach crisp recipe is perfect for just such an occasion. It’s quick to whip up, delicious, and a great way to make any evening feel a touch special.
Why You’ll Love This Peach Crisp
Before I spill the beans on how to make this delightful dessert, let’s talk about why it deserves a place in your dessert lineup. First and foremost, it’s a breeze to prepare—perfect for busy evenings when time is, shall we say, not exactly on your side. Plus, it’s made with fresh peaches (or frozen, if you’re in a pinch), which adds a juicy sweetness that’s hard to resist. Not to mention, this dish will make your kitchen smell like heaven on a rainy day! And let’s not forget the added benefit of a crunchy, buttery topping that will have you sneaking spoonfuls even when the kids are fast asleep.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this peach crisp shine:
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (feel free to use canned or frozen if you’re feeling lazy)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- a pinch of salt
Steps to Make Your Peach Crisp
Alright, let’s dive into the magic of creating this peach delight!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This way, it’ll be nice and hot by the time your crisp is ready for its grand debut.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Gently fold everything together until the peaches are well coated. Pour this mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and to mix until crumbly. It should have the look and feel of graham cracker crumbs but a bit more clumpy. You know, the kind that makes you want to dive right in!
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Seriously, your kitchen is about to turn into a flavor paradise.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. If you can wait that long! Serve warm, ideally with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Cooking Tips
Want to make your peach crisp even better? Here are some practical tips:
- If you can’t find fresh peaches, no worries! Canned or frozen will work beautifully. Just make sure to drain excess liquid from canned peaches.
- Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds) to the topping for an extra crunch. It’s like giving your crisp a fabulous little upgrade!
- Don’t worry if your topping isn’t super even. The rustic look adds to the charm—no one’s judging you here.
