This 12 months, we’ve even had the chance to make it with our homegrown peaches (sneak peek of our “orchard” in as we speak’s recipe video)–what a deal with!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Nice peach taste! We’ll add only a few taste enhancers (vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon) to enrich the peaches with out overshadowing them.

Substances
Earlier than we get began, let’s overview a number of of the substances:
- Peaches. Recent summer season peaches are perfect right here. For the simplest slicing, use a freestone selection. Thawed frozen peaches can work in a pinch, however they aren’t my desire. I don’t suggest utilizing canned peaches (they’re simply too smooth).
- Oats. I want and suggest old style rolled oats (identical to when making my home made granola), since on the spot oats make for a extra crumbly topping. You may use on the spot oats in a pinch although!
- Cinnamon. This provides a candy, spiced taste. For those who’d like, you possibly can mess around with the spices within the filling and use some nutmeg or ginger too, however we all the time want cinnamon.

Baking soda solves this drawback by making the topping porous (microscopically so) in order that it stays crisp above all these juicy peaches however nonetheless breaks simply beneath your fork.
- Unsalted butter. Not like my apple crisp recipe, we’re utilizing chilly butter right here as we speak. I do know, it’s a ache–however identical to when making my berry crisp, I discovered that chilly butter made for a crispier topping. That is greatest right here, since our filling is far juicier with peaches than with apples!
SAM’S TIP: In case your peaches are particularly candy and juicy, you possibly can scale back the sugar within the recipe. I wouldn’t lower the sugar an excessive amount of although–ensure that so as to add a minimum of 2 tablespoons.
Keep in mind, that is simply an outline of the substances I used and why. For the total recipe please scroll right down to the underside of the put up!

I like to recommend ready 10-Quarter-hour after eradicating the crisp from the oven earlier than serving. Because it cools, the sauce thickens (making it good for spooning over ice cream!).

Notes
Peaches
Weigh peaches earlier than slicing.
