Get Organized!

Gather your mise en place; get together all of the equipment needed for the recipe and gather your ingredients.

Get Prepped!

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Cut your peach around the pit of the peach, and then slice the peaches into thin slices.

In a large bowl combine the peaches with sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and salt. Divide into a casserole dish and press the mixture down well.

In a separate large bowl combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.

Add the cold cubed butter and using your hands rub the butter in until fully combined with no large lumps. The dry mix should feel mealy.

Cover the peaches generously with the topping mix and press down lightly.

Get Cooking!

Bake in the preheated 375°F oven for 35 to 45 minutes until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is golden. Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes before serving.

While the crisp is baking, for the cinnamon chantilly combine cream, icing sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk until the mixture becomes stiff and resembles whipped cream. Keep chilled until serving over top of warm crisp.
