Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced peaches (or any fruit)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your peach crisp bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden brown.
- Prepare your fruit by washing, peeling (if necessary), and slicing the peaches. If you're using another type of fruit, ensure it's cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to mingle.
- While the fruit is resting, prepare the crisp topping. In another mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter into the dry mixture. Use a fork or your fingers to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will create a delicious, crunchy topping.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish (or a similar-sized dish). Spread it out evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the fruit layer, covering it completely. This will ensure that every bite has a perfect balance of fruit and crisp topping.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Once done, remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to set a bit.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips
- • For the most flavorful crisp, use ripe, in-season fruit at the peak of freshness. This ensures maximum natural sweetness and juiciness.• Don't skip letting the fruit sit with sugar - this helps release natural juices and intensifies the flavor.• For extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to your crisp topping.• If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent a soggy bottom.• Serve immediately for the best texture - the contrast between warm, soft fruit and crispy topping is magical!• Experiment with different fruits like berries, apples, or mixed fruit combinations to keep things interesting.• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the crisp's texture.
