How to Make It

Get ready to create your delicious peach crisp!

1. Preheat your oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.

2. Prepare the peach mixture

Wash and slice the peaches into a medium bowl. Toss them 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. Make the streusel

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. Incorporate the butter

Add the 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.

5. Assemble the crisp

Transfer the peach mixture, complete with juices, into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.

6. Add the topping

Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the peaches without packing it down for optimal texture.

7. Bake the crisp

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.

8. Cool before serving

Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Yes, it freezes well for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Microwave for 30-45 seconds or heat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Tips for Best Results

• Choose ripe but slightly firm peaches for the best texture.
