Dutch Oven Peach Crisp
When I was a pre-teen my parents had a horse ranch. They would often take large groups of people out on horse riding expeditions.
At the end of the horse riding adventure, the riders would come back to the ranch to eat a large and delicious meal that had been slow cooked in cast iron dutch ovens over hot coals all day long.
Then as a perfect way to finish that amazing meal it was always topped off with dutch oven peach crisp. That crisp was something else I tell ya!
My mom is amazing FYI
Perhaps it was the long laborious ride that heightened the appetites and therefore made everything taste better. Or maybe it was the coals and the fact (and dear reader this is fact not opinion!) that anything cooked over fire always tastes better.
However, I am inclined to think that what made that peach cobbler so amazing was my mother. Man could that fabulous woman bake a mouthwatering, memory-making, peach crisp!
My Peach Crisp Recipe
Friends, today I share with you a re-creation (minus the fire) of my mother’s peach crisp! Because we no longer have the fire factor to add to the flavor factor; I have added instructions on how to cook this on your BBQ just in case you really want to up this sucker a notch.
But just know that the recipe is incredible as is, even baked in the oven! It’s a keeper y’all, a keeper.
How to Peach Crisp on the Smoker BBQ:
I have a Traeger smoker/ BBQ. If you’re looking into BBQs/ Smokers, I HIGHLY recommend one because mine rocks my world and is easy to use even as a single mama that never BBQ’d before in her life before it came. I even built it without a man’s help!!!
Haha! Now that I threw that out there, let me tell you: I’ve cooked this in the oven and on my Traeger and both ways are INCREDIBLE! I love it on the Traeger because you get the subtle smokey finish and that’s one of my favorite things ever of all time.
To cook on the Traeger/ BBQ, follow the original recipe instructions, plus this:
- Set your smoker to “smoke” setting.
- As soon as you have your peaches cut, put the dish in the BBQ and let the peaches smoke for ten minutes while you make your streusel.
- Then turn the temperature to 350F degrees.
- Finish assembling your crisp, and bake at 350 in the BBQ the same as you would in the oven, adding 3-5 minutes extra for the top to crisp.
Microwave Brown Butter
As I believe I made quite clear in my Blackberry Cobbler recipe: things can only get better when topped with a delicious and oh-so-perfect streusel! Mmmmm!!! The blackberry cobbler streusel recipe does not include oats. This does. BOTH are amazing. But you know what takes this peach crisp streusel next level? It’s made with brown butter.
Brown butter adds a deep nutty flavor to the finish of whatever dish you use it in.
This brown butter is easy to make as it’s done in the (wait for it)… Microwave! Yes you read that right. You can make it in the microwave, it turns out perfect AND you don’t have to watch it like a hawk in trying to avoid burning the butter and going from “nutty taste” to you’d be “nutty to taste”!
Cooked Peaches and Fresh Peaches
You will notice that this recipe cooked 3/4’s of the peaches and then saves the other 1/4 to use fresh at the end. This is key y’all! It makes the dish feel bright.
We need cooked peaches for that traditional taste of comfort. However, by plating the peach crisp on top of fresh peaches, it adds a crisp bright flavor to the dish that takes it from an 8 out of 10, to an 11: Boom baby!!!
