A quick and easy skillet peach crisp featuring juicy peaches and a crunchy brown sugar oat topping, perfect for a warm, comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 4 large peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss them gently in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Lightly butter or spray your 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering them well but not packing down.
  5. Place the skillet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  6. Let the crisp cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken slightly.

Notes

Keep the butter cold before mixing to ensure a flaky, crunchy topping. If peaches are difficult to peel, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
