Brown Sugar Peach Crisp: Best Easy Summer Dessert

  • Author: Eden
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A rustic, easy-to-make summer dessert featuring juicy peaches topped with a crunchy brown sugar and pecan streusel. This recipe skips the pie crust stress and uses ripe fruit for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 medium fresh peaches (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg), sliced
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (40g) old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped pecans, toasted
  • ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  2. Wash, peel (optional), and slice peaches into ½-inch wedges. Remove pits.
  3. In a large bowl, toss peach slices with brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla, and cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out juices.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, chopped pecans, brown sugar, and salt.
  5. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger butter pieces.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the pecan streusel topping over the peaches, covering as much as possible.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the streusel is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.
  9. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  10. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Toast pecans in a dry pan for extra flavor. Ensure butter is cold for a crunchy streusel. Let peaches rest with sugar for 10 minutes to release juices. Can be made gluten-free by using GF flour and oats. Can be made nut-free by omitting pecans.
