A quick and easy brown butter peach crisp with a buttery oat topping, perfect for cozy nights and served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice the peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss peaches with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Brown the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour warm browned butter over the mixture and stir until crumbly and well coated.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the brown butter oat topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble around edges.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes to thicken juices and set the crisp.
  10. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use medium heat and stir constantly when browning butter to avoid burning. Choose ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter and plant-based ice cream.
