Ingredients

Filling

6 peaches about 6 cups sliced
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar packed, 32 g
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Topping

1 cup old fashioned oats about 110 g
1/2 cup all purpose flour 74 g
5 tablespoons salted butter cold and cubed
1/4 cup brown sugar packed, 63 g
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Create Topping: Add brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and flour to a large bowl, add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to cut in butter until a crumbly topping is formed. Fold in oats.
Prep Peaches: Pit and slice peaches - peeled or unpeeled. Add lemon juice, maple syrup, almond extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and gently mix.
Create Filling: Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the cast iron skillet and heat over medium to melt butter. Turn off the heat, add the peaches. Do not mix, let the butter coat the bottom of the pan.
Add Topping: Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches in an even layer covering all of the peaches.
Bake: Add cast iron to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden.
Serve and Enjoy with your favorite vanilla ice cream!

Notes

Storage

Fridge: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer: You can store a fully baked crisp in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, remove from the freezer, let thaw overnight in the fridge, and then bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins.

Substitutions

Peaches: Use fresh or frozen (fresh is best though!) but don't use canned. To use frozen, let thaw in the fridge overnight, and gently blot dry a bit before using. Depending on the size of the slice of the frozen peaches, you may want to slice or chop smaller.

Flour: You can make this gluten-free by using your favorite gluten-free flour.

Almond Extract: Vanilla extract is also delicious!

Maple Syrup: You can use all brown sugar (a full 1/4 cup) in place of the maple syrup, but we love the added flavor the maple syrup brings.

Butter: You can use unsalted butter, too. Just add a pinch of salt to the topping.

Baking in a Baking Dish

We love to use our cast iron skillet for this, but you can also use a 9X9 or similarly sized baking dish or a pie dish. Grease the bottom of the dish you use, you may not need a full 2 tablespoons of melted butter to do this, but it won't hurt the flavor to use it! ;)
