Ingredients
- 5 cups ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, toss 5 cups sliced ripe peaches with 1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Transfer the peach mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup sliced almonds, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 6 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
- Step 3: Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Step 4: Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
