Hey, hi! Happy Friday!!!
I am so excited for today. We have this crisp to talk about and well, I am not going to lie, it’s been a bit of week. It’s had its highs and lows and well, I’m kind of ready to call it a day and say hello to the weekend ahead.
Who’s with me?!?
All of you, yeah, thought so.
So this week? Man it was kind of a hard one to say the least. A few things happened that were just not all that awesome and I’m feeling kind of sad about them. I don’t really want to get into details, but I’ve done all that I can do to try my hardest to make the situation better. Some things happened that I just didn’t have any control over…UGH. I am a control freak, so this is pretty freaking hard for me to deal with. All that I can do now is just try to put it out of my head and move on, you know?
Easier said then done.
On a happy and joyful note however, I spent Wednesday night relieving all the stress by making cookies with my bestest bud, Asher. She heads back to school next week and we’ve been trying to cram in as much fun time together as possible. We’ve all been pretty busy over here the entire summer, so this was the first time in a while that just the two of us got to hang for a little. It was much needed, and great way to end a hard day on a good note.
I mean, when chocolate chip cookies are involved, all just seems right with the world, at least at that moment in time… just the BEST.
OKOK, but I feel like it’s probably not the best idea to be talking about cookie dough when really I should to be talking about this amazing and incredibly delicious brown sugar caramel oatmeal cookie peach crisp!!
Yes, fresh PEACH CRISP…with an OATMEAL COOKIE TOPPING…and basically all the vanilla ice cream you can handle.
Yes, please!! It’s a family favorite!
Alright, so let me walk you through this simple dessert.
The secret here is brown sugar, butter and super sweet peaches. Start by tossing the peaches with brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Yup, just four ingredients. The combo of the brown sugar + butter baking in the oven over the peaches creates the most incredible caramel like sauce. The peaches slowly cook down into the caramel-like sauce, and you guys, the peaches + sauce alone are really something amazing. Even without the crisp topping, the peaches + ice cream…
Simply DELISH…but of course the topping just adds some extra special flavors.
The topping mixture consists of oats, cinnamon, brown sugar…and yup, more butter. What… peaches can use a little extra buttery love every now and then. 🙂
Friday Night Game Plan:
…pick up some perfect peaches from the store, farmers market, or maybe even fresh from the tree.
…create this cobbler.
…make cocktails…ok or maybe make some dinner first.
…grab a seat on the couch, a tub of vanilla ice cream, and this skillet full of warm peach crisp…
…eat and be happy! It’s the weekend and you now can have peach crisp to eat…for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Brown Sugar Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Peach Crisp.
Ingredients
- 5-6 ripe, but firm peaches
- 6 tablespoons softened butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Oatmeal Cookie Topping
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons softened butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-10 inch cast iron skillet or glass baking dish.
- To the baking dish, add the peaches, butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Gently toss to combine, it does not need to be perfect.
- To make the topping, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium size mixing bowl. Add the butter and use your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until everything is moist and clumps together. Sprinkle the topping over the peaches.
- Place the dish on a cookie sheet to catch drips and place in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and the peaches have created a caramel like sauce that is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temp with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

How I wish I are eating it now
Thanks so much Livi!
I too. It should be delicious
This was off the charts delish! Made it tonight and every bowl came back clean!!!! You never disappoint! Keep ’em coming!!!!! XO
SO happy to hear that!! Thanks so much Charise, I hope you continue to love my recipes! (:
This looks fantastic! Am planning on making this tomorrow! Question–do you peel the peaches first?
Hey Melanie!! I do not, but I like their flavor and texture. If you prefer the peaches minus their skin, feel free to peel them. Let me know if you have questions. Thank you!!
This is making me drool just reading about it! What a delicious looking recipe 🙂 I am going to have to give this a go!
Thanks so much Amanda!! Hope you love it!
Do you think coconut oil would work in place of butter here?
Hi! Yes, i think that will be fine.
I’m going to dream of this peach crisp tonight :). So pretty!
haha thanks so much! Loving that you are loving this recipe!!
I just made this dessert for our guests and staff at our ranch in Montana. We served 30 bowls of the crisp with ice cream. Every single bowl came back clean! I love that you share your recipes with the world! Thanks so much 🙂
This makes me SOOO incredibly happy. Thanks so much for making my recipe and sharing it with me, I am so happy everyone loved it!! Thanks so much Des!
i made the recipe and it was good, but soupy, and after refrigerating it, the next day there was a layer of solidified butter surrounding the peaches..i love your blog and make most of your recipes, just would love to know peoples thoughts after they make the dish instead of what they think it will taste like when they post comments.
Hey Kimmy! Thanks for your kind comments. This is for sure more of a soup crisp because of the “caramel”. It is meant to be eaten warm and then any leftovers warmed so the butter can melt back over the peaches. Sorry if U did not make that clear. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy you enjoyed this. Thank you!!
Oh nice! I’m loving this! Hope you have a good weekend and things improve!
Kindly,
Maura
Thanks Maura!!
You really have the best blog ever and this recipe is no exception to its awesomeness! I can’t wait to make this! Keep up the hard work and I can’t wait for your cookbook!!!
WOW!! Thank you so much Amy!! I will (:
This looks so good! Crisps are my favorite dessert ever, and I haven’t even made one this summer (ugh, can’t believe it).
Sounds like its the perfect time to make one!!
Oh my goodness! Now if I just had some lovely Palisade, Colorado peaches to make it. All would be right in the world.
Yes they’re some of the best!! But it will still be delish with any peaches!!
I’ve died and gone to heaven and it’s full of peaches!!
Sounds like the heaven I wanna end up in! Haha!
This looks so crazy good!! You always make me so incredibly hungry 🙂
Ah, Matt always the nicest from you! Thank you!!
