Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for the topping)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Ingredient Highlights

  • Peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture. If peaches aren’t in season, nectarines are a good substitute.
  • Rolled Oats: These add the signature crunch to the crisp topping. Avoid instant oats, as they can become mushy.
  • Chopped Nuts: Pecans, almonds, or walnuts work wonderfully, adding a nutty richness to the dessert.
  • Brown Sugar: Provides a deep caramel-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with the peaches.
  • Cinnamon: Adds warmth and enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit.

Instructions

Prepare the Peaches and Topping

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking dish. Brush the cut sides lightly with melted butter to prevent drying out.
  3. Make the Crisp Topping: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Bake

  1. Add the Topping: Spoon the crisp mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the peaches, pressing gently to adhere.
  2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  3. Cool Slightly: Let the peaches cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
