Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (for peach filling)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for crumble)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 4 large peaches into about 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat evenly. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to release juices.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized bits.
  3. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the peach mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften slightly and juices bubble.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble over the peaches in the skillet. Press down lightly to form an even layer. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes until the crumble is golden and toasted and peaches are soft.
  5. Occasionally check under the crumble to ensure peaches are bubbling and topping is not burning. For extra crunch, broil the skillet for 2-3 minutes, watching closely.
  6. Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for the best crumble texture. Do not skip salt in both peach filling and crumble to balance sweetness. Use medium heat to avoid burning the topping. For extra crunch, finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Frozen peaches can be used but may require longer cooking uncovered to reduce moisture.
