Spiced Peach Crisp with Crumb Topping

What You'll Need

• six ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
• Two tbsp orange juice
• 1/3 cup + Three tbsp packed brown sugar, divided
• Three quarter tsp ground cinnamon, divided
• Four tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2/3 cup + One tbsp flour (I used white whole wheat)
• Confectioners' sugar, for serving (optional)

How to Make It

1. Peel and slice peaches.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease the bottom of an 8-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish (I used butter).
3. Place peach slices in a bowl and pour in orange juice, Three tbsp of the brown sugar, and One quarter tsp of the cinnamon.
4. Gently stir so that brown sugar dissolves and the mixture is just about evenly covering peaches.
5. Add peaches to prepared skillet or baking dish and press lightly to form an even layer.
6. In a bowl, add remaining 1/3 cup of the brown sugar and remaining One half tsp of the cinnamon and stir or whisk to combine.
7. Pour in melted butter and combine, and then add flour.
8. Mix until all flour is combined and small- to medium-sized crumbs form.
9. With hands, scatter crumb topping evenly over the peaches in the skillet.
10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the crumb topping has browned slightly.
11. Let cool slightly before serving.
12. Optional: sprinkle confectioners' sugar over top of the crumbs before serving.
