Peaches
- 6-7 peaches slightly ripe, but still firm
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Crisp Topping
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter browned and remained melted
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Peaches
Halve and remove the pits of all of the peaches. Cut each half into four slices.
6-7 peaches
Add the brown sugar, cardamom, flour and vanilla and toss with a rubber spatula until the peaches are completely coated. Set aside.
¼ cup light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Crisp Topping
Begin by browning the butter over medium heat to a deep golden brown - it should smell nutty and caramelized. Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl (be sure to scrape all browned bits off the bottom of the pan).
½ cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Add the brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix everything together with a fork until crumbles form and no dry pieces remain in the bottom.
¾ cup light brown sugar, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Assembly
Pour the peaches (and any juices) into the buttered pan(s) and sprinkle the crisp evenly on top (don't press down).
Bake in the center rack, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes or until a knife is inserted into the peaches inserts and removed without effort and the crisp is nicely browned.
Store the crisp lightly covered at room temperature for 2-3 days. Store in the fridge for 5 days.
Reheat (uncovered) in a 350℉/177℃ oven for 15 minutes (if stored at room temperature) or 25-30 minutes (if stored in the fridge).
