Description
A warm and comforting peach crisp featuring a cardamom-infused oat crumble topping and a dollop of homemade vanilla whipped cream. This easy dessert balances juicy peaches with a lightly spiced, buttery crumble for a cozy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 2 pounds)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel and slice the peaches into roughly ½-inch thick wedges. Toss them gently with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, two knives, or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
- Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9-inch baking dish. Spread the cardamom oat crumble over the top, covering the peaches completely but not pressing down.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until juices bubble and the crumble is golden brown.
- While baking, chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Pour cold heavy cream into the bowl and whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whip until combined and smooth.
- Let the peach crisp cool for 10 minutes after baking. Serve warm topped with a generous dollop of vanilla whipped cream.
Notes
Keep the butter cold when making the crumble to ensure a crisp topping. Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Lemon juice in the peach filling brightens flavor and prevents syrupy texture. Tent with foil if the crisp browns too quickly.
