Peach crisp recipe made with fresh stone fruit and topped with a pecan-oat crumble. A delicious baked dessert using seasonal ingredients.
ingredient
- 3 ½ pounds peaches, sliced
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice , only use if peaches are very sweet
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup pecans , roughly chopped
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- vanilla ice cream, optional
Directions
- Set oven rack to the center position. Preheat to 375ºF (191ºC).
- Cut a shallow “X” into the bottom of the peaches, and then blanch in boiling water for 15 seconds. Transfer peaches to a large bowl of ice water. Once cooled, peel the peaches with your fingertips. Cut peaches into ¾-inch thick slices. Alternatively, using a peeler, gently peel the peaches then cut into slices.
- In a large bowl combine sliced peaches and ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Allow peaches to sit and macerate for 30 minutes.
- Drain the liquid from the peaches into a bowl, and reserve ¼ cup of the juices.
- In a small bowl whisk together the ¼ cup of peach juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Combine with peaches.
- Lightly butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Add peach filling, spreading evenly in the pan.
- In a small bowl mix together the flour, rolled oats, pecans, brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg.
- Cut butter into small ¼-inch pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients, pressing together to create large pebble-shaped pieces of crisp topping, about the size of a dime.
- Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peaches.
- Bake until the topping is golden brown and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Wait for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
- Add warm peach crisp to serving bowls and top with vanilla ice cream.
