A clear glass baking dish filled with a peach crumble dessert showing three layers: the bottom layer has soft, bright orange peach chunks with a juicy texture; the middle layer is a thick, crumbly topping made of brown oat crumble with a rough texture; the top layer features three round scoops of creamy white vanilla ice cream melting slightly over the crumble; a silver spoon is partially dipped into the dessert revealing the peach layer underneath, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

58 ounces canned peaches (sliced and drained)
¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup quick oats
1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the drained peaches into the bottom of the pan in an even layer and set aside.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Add the softened butter and work it into the mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Pour this mixture over the peaches in an even layer.
Step 3: Bake for 25 minutes or until the top turns golden brown. Remove from the oven, serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the topping before baking.
Use fresh peaches when in season for a more vibrant flavor.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for a deeper spice profile.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warm, or place in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.

How to Serve

A white speckled bowl holds a layered peach crumble dessert resting on a white marbled surface with a white cloth beneath. The bottom layer shows bright yellow peach slices partly covered by a chunky, golden-brown oat crumble with a rough texture on top. A dollop of thick white cream covers part of the crumble on one side. A shiny metal spoon lies inside the bowl on the right side, reflecting light subtly. Scattered crumble pieces surround the bowl on the white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Scale

Fruit Base

58 ounces canned peaches, sliced and drained

Crisp Topping

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

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the drained canned peaches into the pan, spreading them out evenly to form the base layer.
Make the Crisp Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, quick oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly. Then add the softened unsalted butter to the bowl and gently work it into the dry mixture until just combined and crumbly, being careful not to overmix to maintain a crumbly texture.
Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the layer of peaches in the baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the topping turns a delightful golden brown color.
Serve: Once baked, remove the peach crisp from the oven. Let it cool slightly, then serve warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your comforting homemade peach crisp!

Notes

You can use fresh peaches when they are in season; reduce the sugar accordingly for natural peach sweetness.
For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the topping mixture.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Ensure the butter is softened but not melted when mixing to achieve the ideal crumbly texture.
