A quick and easy peach crisp featuring juicy peaches topped with a crunchy almond streusel, perfect for summer gatherings and casual desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (50g)
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95g)
  • ½ cup rolled oats (45g)
  • ½ cup sliced almonds (50g), toasted if possible
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice 6-7 medium peaches into about ½-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a large bowl with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let them sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup sliced almonds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the almond streusel topping evenly over the peaches.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  6. Let the crisp rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken and flavors to meld.

Notes

Use cold butter to keep the topping crumbly and avoid greasiness. Toast almonds beforehand for extra crunch. If topping feels too dry before baking, sprinkle a teaspoon or two of cold water. Score and blanch peaches in boiling water for easier peeling. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently in the oven to restore crispness. Optional to prepare topping the night before and refrigerate.
