Ingredients
- Peach Filling
- 3 - 4 large Fresh Peaches 4 - 5 cups
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- ⅓ cup Granulated White Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Salt
- Oat Crisp Topping
- ½ cups Flour
- ¾ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 2 tbsp Ground Flax Seeds optional
- ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ cup Peach Juices from Filling
- ½ cup Cold Unsalted Butter cubed into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and set a rack in the middle position. Butter a medium baking dish, set aside.
- Pit, peel, and slice peaches, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, ground cinnamon and salt. Mix well, ensuring peaches are evenly coated. Set aside for around 15 mins.
- By now, your peaches will have released a lot of juices, reserve a ¼ cup of peach liquid from filling mixture to add to the dry ingredients.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, ground flax seeds, nutmeg and salt, mix until well combined with no lumps.
- Add the butter and ¼ cup peach juice reserve to the dry mixture and mix with a spoon until crumbly. It will be much easier to use your hands, to achieve a proper texture.
- Transfer your peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, and ensure it's evenly spread. Next, layer on your oat mixture, ensuring an even spread.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbling to the surface along edges and in-between filling.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer a less "wet" crisp, you can remove an additional amount of peach juice before adding to baking dish. Also note, the cornstarch acts as a thickening agent, as such it will thicken once heated in the oven.
