Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs peaches (8 medium), fresh or frozen*
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (omit if using frozen fruit)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 8 Tbsp (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats or quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup sliced almonds, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9×12-inch casserole baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Blanch the Peaches: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the peaches in boiling water for about one minute or until their skins loosen. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Peel off the skins, pit the peaches, and slice them into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Transfer slices to a large bowl and toss with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness.
  3. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour. Sprinkle this mixture over the peach slices and toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the peach mixture into the buttered baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
  4. Make the Topping Mixture: In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and sea salt. Pulse several times to mix. Add the cold diced butter and pulse until the butter pieces are pea-sized, creating a crumbly texture.
  5. Assemble the Topping: Transfer the crumb mixture to a bowl. Add the oats and half of the sliced almonds, then use your hands to mix until large crumbles form. Evenly spread this topping over the peach filling in the baking dish. Finally, sprinkle the remaining sliced almonds on top for extra crunch and flavor.
  6. Bake the Peach Crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Notes

  • If using frozen peaches, fully thaw, drain off excess juice, and pat dry with paper towels to avoid a soggy filling.
  • If you do not have a food processor, whisk together dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or cutter to incorporate the cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form.
  • For best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches when fresh.
  • You can substitute old fashioned rolled oats with quick-cooking oats for a slightly different texture.
  • The lemon juice in the filling helps prevent browning and adds a subtle tartness; omit only if using frozen peaches.
