Peach Crisp

Ingredients

• 3 lb peaches, about 8, peeled and cut into ½-inch slices
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar (67 g)
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• fine salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (128 g)
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar (100 g)
• ½ cup rolled oats (45 g)
• ½ cup unsalted butter (113 g), soft but cool, cut into pieces
• vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Steps

1. Heat the oven. Preheat to 375°F with a rack in the center.
2. Prepare the peaches. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
3. Fill the dish. Transfer the fruit to an 8 x 8-inch baking dish and press down gently into an even layer.
4. Make the topping. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
5. Work in the butter. Add the butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry blender until evenly combined and crumbly.
6. Assemble. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.
7. Bake. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes.
8. Serve. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream if desired.
