Print Recipe

A warm and comforting peach crisp with a buttery oat crumble topping and a subtle kick of bourbon, perfect for quick and easy seasonal desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches; frozen peaches work too in off-season)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional, but highly recommended for depth)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free blend if needed)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (can swap with coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with bourbon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits. Stir in the chopped nuts if using.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peach filling without pressing down.
  6. Bake the crisp for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for the crumble topping to achieve a flaky texture. Do not overmix the crumble to keep some variation in texture. Let the crisp rest after baking to allow the filling to thicken. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Frozen peaches should be thawed and drained before use. Bourbon can be omitted or substituted with vanilla extract and a pinch of smoked paprika for a non-alcoholic version. For gluten-free, swap flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, use coconut oil or vegan butter and ensure sugar is vegan-friendly.
