Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, browned and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Peel the peaches and slice them into roughly ½-inch thick wedges. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add ½ cup cane sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the peaches. Toss gently to coat and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir frequently as it foams and changes color to a golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4–5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour in the cooled brown butter and stir until the mixture clumps together evenly.
  6. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly around the edges.
  8. Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes to set slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to better monitor color and avoid burning. If topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free vanilla ice cream. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
