Description
This Amaretto Peach Crisp sings with flavor! Juicy, sweet fresh peaches are sweetened with sugar, vanilla, and amaretto liqueur and then topped with a spiced and buttery almond-oat crumble. This is the perfect dessert to make with those summer peaches! All that’s missing is a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Peach Filling:
- 5 cups (roughly 6-7) peaches, sliced (I leave them unpeeled)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Juice of half a lemon (roughly 2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
- Pinch of salt
For the Crisp Topping:
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold and cut into small cubes
Instructions
For the Peach Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter or spray a 9-inch pie dish (alternatively, you can make this in a 2-quart baking dish, or cast iron skillet).
- Combine the peaches, flour, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, amaretto, and salt in a large bowl, stirring gently until everything is evenly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
For the Crisp Topping:
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using your hands, a pastry cutter, or two forks until the mixture is crumbly and sticking together in spots.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach filling.
- Transfer the pie dish to the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crisp is bubbly around the edges and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
To Serve:
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. We love this topped with vanilla ice cream and additional toasted almonds. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, a small drizzle of amaretto over the ice cream is heavenly!
- This can be served warm (my recommendation) or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
