Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups sliced fresh peaches, peeled or unpeeled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
- 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2/3 cup chopped unsalted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a deep-dish 9-inch pie dish, 9-inch square pan, 10-inch cast iron skillet, or any 2 to 2.5-quart baking dish.
- Add sliced peaches, 1/4 cup flour, granulated sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Spread the peach filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk brown sugar, 2/3 cup flour, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
- Fold in the oats and pecans, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach filling.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and the peach juices bubble around the edges.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving warm, at room temperature, or cold.
Notes
- Fresh peaches give the best flavor and texture.
- Frozen peaches may be used if thawed, chopped, and blotted dry before mixing.
- Canned peaches are not recommended because they can turn too soft during baking.
- The topping can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated until needed.
- Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Baked crisp can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350°F oven until warm.
