A simple and soulful peach crisp featuring ripe peaches, honey, and vanilla with a buttery oat crumble topping. This easy dessert is perfect for late summer and offers a comforting balance of juicy fruit and crunchy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or wildflower honey)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch square baking dish or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. Peel the peaches using a paring knife or blanch briefly in boiling water. Slice into ½-inch thick wedges and place in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (if using), and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the peaches. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and 2 tablespoons honey. Use a pastry cutter, forks, or fingers to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  7. Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold when mixing the crumble to avoid greasy topping. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra ½ tablespoon cornstarch to prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Let crisp cool before serving for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and maple syrup instead of butter and honey.
