Ingredients

Scale

Peach Layer

  • 58 ounces canned peaches, sliced and drained

Topping

  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup quick oats
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the peaches: Drain the canned peaches thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the crisp. Spread the sliced peaches evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  3. Make the topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, quick oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
  4. Add butter to the topping: Incorporate the softened unsalted butter into the dry mixture by working it in with your fingers or a fork. Mix just until the mixture holds together with a crumbly texture; avoid overmixing to keep the topping light and crumbly.
  5. Assemble the crisp: Sprinkle the butter mixture evenly over the layer of peaches, covering the fruit thoroughly with the topping.
  6. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Be sure to drain peaches well to prevent sogginess in the crisp.
  • Quick oats create a tender, crumbly topping, but old-fashioned oats can be used for a chewier texture.
  • You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.
  • For a fresh fruit alternative, substitute canned peaches with fresh sliced peaches or other fruit such as apples or berries.
