Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches (about 3 pounds), peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/3 cup honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, combine peach slices with honey, ground cardamom, lemon juice, and flour. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Spread sliced almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring once, until golden and fragrant.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine toasted almonds, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into an oven-safe baking dish (about 9×9 inches), spreading evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the almond streusel topping liberally over the peaches.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free baking flour and use gluten-free oats. For vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup. Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Resting after baking helps juices thicken for clean slices.
