Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 ripe peach, sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Summer Peach Crisp bakes evenly and develops a nice golden color.
- Wash and slice the ripe peach into thin wedges. If desired, you can remove the skin, but leaving it on adds texture and flavor.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the sliced peach with half of the brown sugar (1/2 tablespoon) and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat the peach slices evenly. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the peach and create a delicious base for your crisp.
- Transfer the peach mixture into a small baking dish or ramekin, spreading it out evenly.
- In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, the remaining brown sugar (1/2 tablespoon), melted butter, and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the sliced peaches in the baking dish. This will create a crunchy topping that contrasts beautifully with the soft peaches.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
- Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to thicken slightly.
- Serve warm, and if desired, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips
- Choose the Right Peach: Opt for a ripe, juicy peach to ensure maximum flavor. A slightly soft peach will yield the best results, as it will become beautifully tender during baking.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to customize the topping by adding nuts like almonds or walnuts for an extra crunch, or a sprinkle of coconut for a tropical twist.
- Serving Suggestions: For an indulgent experience, serve your peach crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of hot and cold is heavenly!
- Make it Your Own: Don’t hesitate to swap out the peach for other fruits like berries or apples, depending on what you have on hand. Each variation brings a unique flavor profile to the dish.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your crisp as it bakes. Ovens can vary, so check for that golden brown topping and bubbling fruit to know when it’s done.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers (though we doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
