Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 to 7 medium fresh peaches, washed and sliced (no peeling necessary)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (65 g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65 g)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 g)
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted (35 g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (70 g)
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (85 g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and slice 6 to 7 medium peaches (about 4 cups/600 g sliced). No need to peel! Toss the slices in a medium bowl with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to coat evenly. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In another bowl, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/3 cup sliced almonds, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  4. Add 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Transfer the peach mixture (with juices) into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the peaches, covering them generously but not packing it down.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

Use firm peaches to hold shape during baking. Keep butter cold for a crumbly topping. Let crisp rest 10-15 minutes before serving to avoid a juicy mess. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil. Nut-free option: omit almonds and add more oats or pumpkin seeds.
