What You'll Need:

• 7 peaches (skinned, pitted, and sliced into 1/2-inch slices)
• 1/4 cup apple juice (we used 100% juice, not from concentrate)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Crisp Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (we love the rich molasses flavor of dark brown sugar)
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter (chilled and cut into small pieces)

Directions

1. Preheat and Prep: First, preheat your oven to a toasty 375°F (because crisp should never be lukewarm in any sense of the word). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Make the Topping: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the brown sugar, followed by the cold butter. Keep at it until the mixture is crumbly and irresistible. Pop it in the fridge to chill while you work on the filling.
3. Peachy Keen Filling: In a large bowl, toss your peach slices with the apple juice and lemon juice. Sprinkle the flour, sugar, and cinnamon over the peaches, then gently stir everything together until the peaches are well-coated in sweet, spicy goodness.
4. Assemble the Crisp: Pour your peach filling into the prepared baking dish, making sure not to fill it more than 3/4 full (leave some space for the topping to work its magic). Spoon the chilled crisp topping over the peaches, spreading it evenly but lightly—no need to pack it down.
5. Bake: Slide that beauty into the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling away merrily.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the crisp to cool on a wire rack (if you can resist diving in immediately). Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream because, well, why wouldn’t you?

Side Dish Ideas

Pair this delightful Peach Crisp with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite ice cream. If you’re feeling fancy, serve it alongside a refreshing glass of iced peach tea or even a peachy cocktail for a double dose of summer flavor.
