A warm, comforting peach crisp featuring fresh ginger and a nutty brown butter pecan crumble topping. Perfect for any occasion, this dessert combines juicy peaches with a crunchy, flavorful topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g), browned
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped (100g)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95g)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed (100g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine peeled and sliced peaches, granulated sugar, grated fresh ginger, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Over medium-low heat, melt unsalted butter in a small skillet. Swirl the pan as it foams and browns, releasing a nutty aroma and brown flecks (about 4-6 minutes). Remove from heat once browned.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix chopped pecans, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, salt, and ground ginger (optional). Pour the warm browned butter over the dry ingredients and stir until crumbly and clumpy.
  6. Sprinkle the brown butter pecan crumble evenly over the peach filling.
  7. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
  8. Let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use fresh, raw pecans for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil but lose some brown butter aroma. If peaches are unavailable, frozen peaches can be used after thawing and draining excess liquid. Watch butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Cornstarch thickens juices to prevent soggy bottom. Fresh ginger adds brightness; ground ginger can be used as a substitute.
