When making peach crisp, both fresh and canned peaches work well. Fresh peaches give a bright flavor and a nice texture. You can find them in summer at local markets. Choose ripe peaches that yield slightly when pressed. Canned peaches are convenient and save time. Look for those packed in juice, not syrup, for less sweetness. You can use either option, depending on what's available to you. Accurate measurement is key to a great peach crisp. Use a dry measuring cup for the oats, flour, and sugar. Spoon the ingredients into the cup and level it off with a knife. This method ensures you won’t have too much or too little. For the melted butter, a liquid measuring cup works best. Always double-check your measurements to keep your crisp balanced. Serving peach crisp is fun and easy! For a classic touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream melts into the warm crisp, creating a delicious contrast. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon on top for extra flavor. Fresh mint leaves add a nice pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your peach crisp warm for the best experience. Check out the Full Recipe for the complete guide! First, you need to preheat your oven. Set it to 350°F (175°C). This step is key. A hot oven helps cook the peaches and crisp topping perfectly. Next, prepare the peaches. If you use fresh peaches, slice them into thin pieces. If you choose canned peaches, drain the syrup first. In a large bowl, mix the peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir gently until coated. Then, transfer this peach mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom. Now, let’s make the topping. In a new bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix these dry ingredients well. Then, add 1/2 cup melted butter. Stir using a fork or your hands until the mix is crumbly and well coated. Time to assemble! Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Make sure all the peaches are covered. This helps create a nice crunchy layer on top of the soft peaches. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Keep an eye on it. The topping should turn golden brown, and the peaches will bubble around the edges. This bubbling means they are tender. Once baked, take the dish out of the oven. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling time helps the flavors meld together. Serve warm, and if you like, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy every delicious bite of this Peach Paradise Crisp! For a full recipe, refer to the earlier section.

Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (or canned peaches, drained of syrup)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even baking temperature for your crisp.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently stir until the peaches are thoroughly coated in the mixture. Once coated, transfer the peach mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

      Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients well until they're evenly combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour the melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir with a fork or your hands until the mixture becomes crumbly and all dry ingredients are coated with the butter.

          Assemble the Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish, ensuring that the fruit is well covered. This creates a delightful texture contrast between the soft peaches and the crunchy topping.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges, which indicates they are perfectly tender.

              Cooling Time: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors to settle and makes it easier to serve.
