Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 8 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Brown Butter Crisp Topping
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Brown the butter by melting it in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter foams and the milk solids turn golden brown with a rich, nutty aroma. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
- In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the browned butter over the dry ingredients and stir until large crumbles form.
- Sprinkle the topping loosely over the peaches. Leave some small gaps so the juicy peach filling can bubble through while baking for a more rustic, homemade look.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let the crisp cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Fresh freestone peaches work best.
- Frozen peaches can be substituted. Thaw and drain well before using.
- Browning the butter adds incredible caramel-like flavor.
- Let the crisp rest before serving so the filling thickens.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch if desired.
