A simple and delicious peach crisp featuring a subtle bourbon kick and a crunchy cinnamon oat topping, perfect for a comforting dessert any time of year.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups sliced fresh ripe peaches (about 5–6 medium peaches) or thawed frozen peaches
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (for the peaches)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour/gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the topping)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed (or coconut oil/vegan butter for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Wash, peel if desired, and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges to make about 6 cups.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with bourbon, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir until sugar dissolves and peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use firm, ripe peaches for best texture. Cold butter is crucial for a crumbly topping. Lemon juice brightens flavors and prevents mushiness. Let the crisp rest after baking to thicken juices. Adjust baking time based on your oven. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Reheat in oven to keep topping crispy.
