| 12 large peaches (peeled, pitted and sliced thin) | |
| ¼ cup brown sugar | |
| 1 teaspoon cinnamon | |
| ½ teaspoon nutmeg | |
| 2 teaspoon lime juice (and 1 lime zest) | |
| 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch |
For the topping:

| 2 teaspoon baking powder | |
| 9 tablespoon unsalted butter (cubed and chilled) | |

Preparation
1
Prep and Bake the Peaches
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lime juice, lime zest, and flour or cornstarch. Mix well to evenly coat the peach slices. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes, just until the fruit starts to release its juices. After baking, carefully reserve ¼ cup of the peach juice—you’ll use it in the crisp topping.

Prepare the Topping Base
In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of white sugar. Set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside for later—it'll be used to finish the crisp with a little extra sparkle and flavor. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will form the base of your crumbly, buttery topping.

Make the Crisp Topping
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, gently work the butter in until the mixture forms coarse, crumbly bits—it should look like wet sand with a few small clumps. Next, pour in the reserved ¼ cup of peach juice and mix until the dough just comes together. It should still be a little crumbly but hold its shape when pressed.

Assemble and Bake
Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the warm, partially baked peaches in your baking dish. Don’t worry about covering every inch—some gaps allow the peach filling to bubble through beautifully. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture you set aside earlier over the entire top for extra flavor and a golden finish. Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Serve and Enjoy
Peach crisp is best served warm, so let it cool just slightly before digging in. Scoop out a generous portion and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. As the ice cream melts into the warm, gooey peaches and golden topping, it creates the most irresistible soft, sweet, and creamy bite—comfort food at its finest!

Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Storage and Reheating:
Got leftovers? Store your peach crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you're ready for round two (or three), preheat your oven to 350°F and warm the crisp for 15-20 minutes. This ensures it remains flavorful and the topping stays crunchy. Microwave reheating works in a pinch, but an oven-reheat will truly recapture its fresh-out-of-the-oven glory.
Rana’s Notes!
Peach crisp is best served warm! Let it cool slightly before digging into a warm and gooey slice of peach cobbler. Cut out a slice and serve it with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The ice cream will melt over the peach crisp and combine with the crust to make a soft, sweet, and creamy dough.
