Brown Butter Peach Crisp
There’s nothing quite like a warm brown butter peach crisp fresh out of the oven! Golden, buttery, and bubbling with sweet, juicy peaches. This easy summer dessert takes the classic peach crisp to the next level with rich, nutty browned butter. It’s the perfect way to use up ripe summer peaches, and it’s just as delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a hot cup of coffee. It'll become your go-to peach dessert all season long.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
For the Crisp Filling:
- 4 cups peaches chopped and sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼-⅓ cup brown sugar light or dark
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour
For the Crisp Topping:
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ⅓-½ cup packed brown sugar light or dark
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup rolled or quick oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour spoon & leveled
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
For the Crisp Topping:
- Start by preparing the crisp topping. Melt your butter on the stovetop or in the microwave and then add it to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add in the brown sugar and give it a good mix. Then add in the vanilla and mix.
- Pour in the oats, flour, and sea salt and mix with a rubber spatula until it's thick and incorporated. It should feel similar to cookie dough but less sticky. Set aside.
For the peach filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, add all the filling ingredients: peaches, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch.
- Mix until everything is well incorporated and all the peaches are covered.
To assemble:
- Spray your baking pans with oil. If you're using two pans (I used two 5in), divide the peach filling between them or just use a 9×9 baking dish. Sprinkle the crisp topping all over to cover the peaches.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and the peaches are bubbly. Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
