Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Peeling Peaches: To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. The skins will slide right off.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the topping for extra warmth.
- Serve Warm: Peach crisp is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
- Fruit Variations: Try substituting some peaches with berries or apples for a different flavor profile.
