Peach crisp is a baked dessert of ripe, juicy peaches enhanced with brown sugar, warm spices, and a crispy oat crumb topping. Enjoy this treat at the height of summer with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
0 Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. and grease an oven safe dish. I used a pie dish.
1 In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Mix well until the peaches are evenly coated.
2 Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
3 In a separate bowl, make the crisp topping. Combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix it all together. Add the cold cubed butter to the mixture.
4 Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the butter is evenly distributed. The topping should clump together when pressed.
5 Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish.
6 Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
7 Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.
8 To make it even better, serve the peach crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
