PEACH CRISP WITH OATMEAL
Baking tips for Peach Crisp
Be sure to prepare the topping first and refrigerate it
while you make the filling.
You can use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches or a
combination of types of peaches in this recipe. If using fresh peaches,
you’ll need about 6-7 medium peaches. If using frozen peaches do not thaw
them. If using canned peaches, make sure to use sliced peaches that are
canned in juice (not syrup) and drain them completely first and slice as
desired.

Ingredients
For the topping:
1/2
cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour,
3/4
cup (150 grams) brown sugar (can reduce sugar to ½ cup)
1
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4
teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2
cup (115 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed into small pieces
11/4
cup (100 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats (oatmeal)
Optional:
¼ cup or as desired oat bran and/or wheat germ
For the filling:
5
cups sliced peaches* about 6-7 medium peaches
1/3
cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
1/4
cup (31 grams) all-purpose flour
1
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1
Tablespoon Minute tapioca
¼
cup Quick oats (oatmeal)
Instructions
Preheat
oven to 350°F. Spray or oil a 9-inch pie plate (an 8 or 9-inch square baking
dish should work fine too) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
To make the topping:
In
a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, oats (and
optional ingredients if being used) until well combined. Add the cold cubed
butter and using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the dry
ingredients until the mixture starts to come together and is crumbly. Transfer
to the refrigerator while you make the filling.
To make the filling:
Add
the peaches to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the flour, tapioca, cinnamon
and sugar on top. Stir until all of the peaches are well coated with these
ingredients. Scoop the peaches into the prepared baking dish, remove the
topping from the refrigerator and sprinkle on top of the filling.
Bake
at 350°F for 40-50 minutes or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the
juices are bubbling around the edges. I used my convection oven and a glass pan
– heat setting 325 degrees and baked it for 30 minutes.
Remove
from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. If
serving cold, you can top with whipped cream or topping.
This
is a wonderful, healthy dessert that is so refreshing and easy to make.
