A simple and delicious summer dessert featuring fresh peaches baked with a crunchy almond flour topping that adds a nutty texture and golden crispness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65g)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup almond flour (96g)
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 medium peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a large bowl with ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, ½ cup rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture evenly into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the almond flour topping evenly over the peaches.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling bubbles around the edges. If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
  6. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold when mixing topping to maintain a crunchy texture. Use cornstarch to thicken peach juices and prevent sogginess. Let crisp rest before serving for best texture. If topping browns too fast, cover with foil. Can substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar or pecans for almond flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
