In this delicious peach crisp recipe, fresh peaches are infused with cinnamon and vanilla and topped with a sweet buttery crisp topping. This easy peach crisp is made with 8 ingredients, and is best served warm with vanilla ice cream, of course.
Slice them into thin slices, then cut each slice in half so it’s about 1” long.
(If using frozen peaches, put them in a strainer and thaw until they reach room temperature).
In a small bowl mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, all-purpose flour and sea salt, set aside.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, lemon juice and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.
Make the Crisp Topping:
Place softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and sea salt in a medium sized bowl. Use your hands, a fork or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with buttery chunks.
Add oats and stir until evenly combined, set aside.
Assemble the Peach Crisp
Transfer the peach filling to the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the top of the peach mixture.
Bake
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until the top is set and lightly browned, and the filling is bubbling.
Fresh peaches. Use 3 pounds peeled and sliced fresh peaches for the best results. You can also use frozen, sliced peaches. To do this, thaw them in a colander to room temperature, then use them to make the filling.
