Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with fresh lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine oats, toasted almonds, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and work it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat almond crumble evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and thickened.
  7. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm alone or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Score and blanch peaches to peel easily. Keep butter cold for a flaky topping. Toast almonds yourself for better flavor. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Can prepare crumble topping ahead and refrigerate up to 2 days. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
