Easy Peach Crisp
There’s just something magical about a fruit crisp in the summertime. The simple ingredients, fresh flavor, and that crumble topping that tastes like comfort. Like a hug in a bowl.
This easy peach crisp is one of my back-pocket recipes I return to again and again. It’s quick, nostalgic, and the perfect way to use up those juicy summer peaches.
I recently partnered with Dierbergs to check out their Homegrown section and I tell you what, it’s neat! Every summer, Missouri and Illinois farmers stock the store’s lobby with the freshest local produce. The local partnership supports farmers, family and the community. I grabbed the peaches at my recent Dierbergs visit and this peach crisp recipe immediately came to mind.
My mom made this all the time when I was growing up, so it brings back a lot of memories of warm summer nights, sitting on our screened-in porch after dinner. The crumble topping makes the whole kitchen smell amazing. We would eat this a lot for dessert, and top the warm crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s very minimal ingredients which makes it super easy to whip up! Just peaches, brown sugar, oats, butter, flour and some spices.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard dinner or just want a cozy dessert on a weeknight, this crisp checks all the boxes. If you make it, tag me at @urban.apron so I can see and we can connect!
Enjoy!
Peach Crisp Recipe
4 cups peaches, diced
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Place the chopped peaches in the bottom of a buttered baking dish (such as a 2-quart baking dish)
Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mash together with a fork until completely combined and butter is crumbled and mixed throughout. You can also pulse in a food processor to combine. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches to cover completely.
Bake the crisp in the oven for 30–40 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired!
