Peach Pecan Crisp

Filling

• 5 cups thinly sliced + peeled peaches (about 5–6 medium peaches)
• 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping

• 3/4 cup (150g) light or dark brown sugar
• 2/3 cup (85g) all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup (65g) old-fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup (95g) unsalted pecans, chopped or halved
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• optional but encouraged: vanilla ice cream for serving

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).

Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish (circle or square). Set aside.

Make the filling: Combine peaches with the flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl. Toss gently until combine. Spoon into prepared baking dish.

Make the topping: Whisk the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and pecans together. Make sure to get out all those brown sugar lumps. Add the butter and stir with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon to break up the butter until the mixture is crumbly. (A fork works for this too!) Evenly sprinkle topping over peaches.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach juice is bubbling on the edges. Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
