- All-purpose flour
- Brown sugar, packed

*If using frozen fruit, make sure to fully thaw, drain, and dab with paper towels to remove excess juice. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a whisk for the dry ingredients and a pastry blender/cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to degrees F and butter a casserole baking dish.
- Blanch the peaches by placing them in boiling water for one minute, then transferring them to cold water. Peel, pit, and slice into ½ inch thick pieces. Toss the peaches with lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and flour, then toss with the sliced fruit. Pour into the buttered baking dish.
- In a food processor, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the diced cold butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add oatmeal, and use your hands to make large crumbles. Mix in ½ cup of sliced almonds.
- Spread the topping evenly over the fruit and sprinkle the top with the remaining almonds. Bake for minutes at ˚F until golden and bubbly.
Helpful Tips:
- Serve the Peach Crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect combination of hot and cold.
- Don’t overmix the topping to ensure a crispy texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Expert Tips for the Best Results:
- Use ripe, but not overly soft peaches for the best flavor.
- Experiment with adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping for extra warmth.
- For a nut-free version, omit the almonds and add extra oats for crunch.
Serving Suggestions:

Storage and Reheating Tips:
To store leftovers, cover the baking dish with foil or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to maintain the crispy topping.
