Step-by-Step Instructions for Fresh Peach Crisp
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8 baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, then refrigerate.
  3. Skin and slice the peaches into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
  4. In the bowl with the sliced peaches, add white sugar, apple juice, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of flour and cinnamon. Gently toss to coat.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish and spoon the chilled topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
