• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions for Peach Crisp Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and get out a deep dish 9 inch pie plate or baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, and salt. Add in the melted butter and stir to combine. Put the bowl in the refrigerator so the butter can cool (the mixture will become hard so you can crumble it later) while you prepare the peaches. Here’s a little video to demonstrate the time saving kitchen hack for crisp topping:

3. Prepare your peaches by peeling and slicing them. (See below for tips on peeling and slicing peaches.)
4. Once the peaches are sliced, add 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup sugar to the bowl of sliced peaches and stir to combine. Pour them into a 9 inch deep dish pie pan.

5. Remove the oat topping from the fridge and break up the mixture slightly with a spoon. Then crumble it over the top of the peaches using your hands. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until it is bubbly around the edges, and the peaches are nice and soft when you poke them with a fork.

Tools Used for this Recipe

I bought myself a nice, pretty deep dish pie pan. I love using it! If you don’t have a deep dish pie pan, you could also use a 9 inch baking dish (similar to this) or even a 9 inch baking pan (similar to this).
