Peach & Pecan Oat Crisp

A rectangular ceramic baking dish filled with warm peach crisp topped with oats and pecans, sitting on a dark wooden table next to a vintage container of homemade vanilla ice cream near a window.

A crisp is the humbler cousin of the pie. It requires no rolling of dough or crimping of edges. Instead it relies on the rough contrast between soft, cooked fruit and a shattered, buttery topping. This recipe utilizes canned peaches which makes it a dessert that can be pulled from the pantry in the depth of winter when fresh stone fruit is a distant memory.

The topping is a dense mixture of dark brown sugar, oats, and flour bound together by butter. We cut the butter in until the texture resembles coarse meal ensuring every bite has a heavy, caramel flavor. The addition of chopped pecans provides a necessary crunch that stands out against the softness of the peaches. It is a dish best served warm from the oven while the fruit is still bubbling.

The Recipe Yields: 12 servings | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 4 (16-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumble In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, uncooked oats, and ground cinnamon. Cut the butter into this dry mixture using a pastry blender or two forks. Continue working the butter in until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the chopped pecans to distribute them evenly.
  2. Assemble Lightly grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish. Spoon the drained peach slices into the dish, spreading them out to form an even layer. Spoon the oat and pecan crumb mixture generously over the top of the fruit.
  3. Bake Bake at 400°F for 18 to 20 minutes. The topping should be golden brown and the fruit should be bubbling at the edges. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
