Baked Peaches with Crisp Topping

Baked peaches with crisp topping served with vanilla ice-cream.

Move over watermelon, because peaches are my favorite summer fruit! I can’t stop eating these baked peaches and it reminded me of my eating habits in college. One of the biggest culprits of my Freshman 15 while in school was a peach cobbler in our all-you-can-eat dining hall. After stuffing my face at the buffet, I’d finish my meal with a bowl of cobbler topped with soft serve vanilla ice-cream. Good times.

Clearly my tastes haven’t changed because here I am with a recipe for the most delicious baked peaches topped with crisp. (Do you know the difference between cobbler, crisps, and crumbles? I definitely had to look it up.) Though this version of baked peached is healthier than what they served in the dining hall, it’s equally, if not more delicious!

Ingredients

  • 3 peaches (sliced and pitted)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Make topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon.
  3. Pour in melted butter and mix until mixture resembles course crumbs.
  4. Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out a little bit of the peach center to make room for the filling.
  5. Place the halved peaches onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat.
  6. Divide the filling evenly between the peach halves (approximately one tablespoon each).
  7. Bake for 25 – 30 mins until topping is golden brown and peaches are soft.
  8. Serve warm and top with ice-cream.
