Gus's Peach Crisp

“Gus says a crisp is just a cobbler that went to finishing school.”

You'll need

• 6 cups sliced peaches (about 6 large)
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp flour (for the peaches)
• 1 cup flour (for the topping)
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup cold butter, cut in cubes

How to make it

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Butter an 8×8 or 2-quart baking dish.
2. Toss the peaches with the sugar, lemon juice and 1 tbsp flour, and spread them in the dish.
3. Mix 1 cup flour, the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Work in the cold butter with your fingers until crumbly.
4. Scatter the topping over the peaches.
5. Bake 35–45 minutes, until golden and bubbling at the edges. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
