Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and bourbon. Toss gently until the peaches are well coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to release juices.
- In another mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbly, resembling wet sand. If using, fold in chopped pecans.
- Transfer the marinated peaches to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading them evenly.
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peaches, ensuring all are covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For frozen peaches, thaw and drain before using to avoid excess moisture.
- Feel free to mix in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a twist.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat or almond flour for a healthier option.
- Use certified gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
