Ingredients
Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
Full measurements are in the recipe card below.
Canned peaches- you will want to use either canned peaches in syrup or juice. They are pre-sweetened which makes this recipe easier! It is important that you drain all the excess liquids from the peaches.
Flour– we used all-purpose flour for this recipe, self-rising flour, and cake flour will work great as well.
Rolled oats- also known as old fashion oats, keep their shape during baking. Make sure your use gluten-free oats if you need gluten-free oats. You can use quick oats or steel-cut oats.
Cinnamon- optional, but gives a delicious flavor to this crisp.
Butter- use unsalted butter for this recipe. Only butter will work for this recipe, no margarine, and no coconut oil. Margarine has a weird taste and can ruin the flavor of this dessert.
Make sure that your butter is at room temperature.
Brown sugar- adds a caramelly flavor and tastes great with cinnamon. You will need ¾ cup brown sugar.
Kosher salt- you will need about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt for this recipe.
Instructions
Start by making the crumb topping. Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, kosher salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix with a spoon until combined.
Add the room temperature butter and work it into the mixture until just combined. We used our clean hands to do so but you can use a wooden spoon as well.
Drain the canned peaches from the liquids, slice them into thick slices and transfer them into a 9x9 baking dish.
Top the peaches with the crumb topping we used our hands to distribute the mixture evenly.
Bake in a 180c (350) preheated oven for about 25 minutes (depending on the oven) or until the oat topping is golden brown.
Serve this with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
Expert Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like butter. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly.
- Make sure that your butter is at room temperature. An hour or two before making this dessert, take the butter out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. The butter should be soft to the touch. If your butter is too cold, it will be harder to mix and there will be lumps of butter in the mixture.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
