Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh peaches
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Place the peach slices into a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the honey and lemon juice over the peaches, tossing gently to coat. Transfer the coated peaches into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture. Using your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter, blend the butter with the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. If using pine nuts, sprinkle them on top of the crisp mixture for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
