Roasted Peach Crisp

This peach crisp is made by roasting fresh peaches to intensify their floral aromas, then topping them with a crunchy streusel mixture before baking until golden. The result is a bubbling, caramelized fruit filling nestled under a crisp, buttery topping that offers a pleasing contrast of tender fruit and crunchy texture.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 cups ripe peaches pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Baking sheet or oven-safe dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Butter knife or pastry cutter
  • Paddle or spoon for mixing

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice ripe peaches and spread them evenly in a baking dish. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if using, then toss gently to coat the fruit.
  2. Roast the peaches in the oven for about 15 minutes until they start to soften and release fragrant aromas, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the streusel topping by combining flour, sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Once the peaches are roasted, remove the dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture over the warm fruit, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Bake the assembled crisp for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. The aroma of baked cinnamon and caramelized fruit will fill your kitchen.
  6. Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

For a quicker version, you can skip roasting the peaches and bake the assembled crisp directly. Adjust baking time accordingly to ensure topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
