how to make Peach Crisp

Ingredients:

• 6 peaches (diced into 1 inch cubes, about 4 heaping cups)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 a stick cut into cubes)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Butter a 2.5 quart or a 9 inch round baking dish and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, add the diced peaches, lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Toss everything together to fully coat the peaches. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the peach crisp topping, except for the butter.
4. Add the cubed butter to the mixture and work it in using your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter until the topping resembles wet sand and holds together when squeezed in your hand.
5. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peaches. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until the peaches are very tender and the filling is bubbling up through the topping.
6. Allow the crisp to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect treat!

how to serve Peach Crisp

Peach Crisp is best served warm, right after cooling. Scoop a generous portion into a bowl and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream melting over the warm crisp creates a delicious contrast that enhances the experience.

how to store Peach Crisp

To store leftover Peach Crisp, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. It will last for about 3 to 4 days. You can also reheat it in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through.

tips to make Peach Crisp
