A warm, comforting peach crisp made in a cast iron skillet with a buttery vanilla oat crumble topping, perfect for summer or cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups) – fresh freestone peaches work best
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (can substitute coconut oil for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 ripe peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a medium bowl.
  3. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to your cast iron skillet and spread it out evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Cut in 1/2 cup cold cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peaches.
  8. Bake the skillet in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the crisp rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If topping browns too fast, cover skillet loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid watery filling. Keep butter cold for a crispy topping. Season your cast iron skillet for best results. You can prepare the crumble while peaches marinate to save time. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
