Best Peach Crisp
This recipe, found in the June 2018 Bon Apetit is from B’s Cracklin’ BBQ. I halved the recipe to fit in a 9” pie plate, but you could easily fit it into an 8×8 or 9×9 square pan, or double it and bake it in a 9×13 dish. It is outstanding! It has less sugar than other similar recipes, but I promise you’ll never miss it! Superb with fresh peaches!
The crumble topping is absolutely the best – crispy edges, chewy and buttery. Everything you want in a crisp!

Prepare the Peaches

Prepare the Crumble
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using an electic mixer at low speed, gradually add in the butter pieces. Once all of the butter is in the bowl, turn the mixer up to Medium speed, and continue mixing until the butter is fully incorporated, meaning there are no dry bits left. This will take 1-3 minutes, so be sure to watch.
