Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse and halve 4 large ripe peaches. Remove the pits carefully without tearing the flesh. Brush the cut sides lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to get nice caramelization but not so hot that the peaches burn quickly.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until you see beautiful grill marks and the peaches start to soften. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Place the grilled peach halves cut side up in the baking dish. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering them generously.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for about 25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the crisp cool slightly before serving to let the juices thicken. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

If topping seems too dry before baking, sprinkle a teaspoon of cold water and gently mix to help it clump. Watch closely during last 5 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter. Broiling peaches is a good alternative if no grill is available.
