This smoked peach crisp recipe on the Traeger has quickly become our favorite summer dessert. The warm cinnamon topping, cold scoop of ice cream, and sweet peach juice bubbling up around the edges is pure joy.
Set your smoker to super smoke for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
In a bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients, folding gently with a spatula to combine.
6-8 Peaches, 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar, 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
Place fruit mixture in bottom of a greased dutch oven.
In a separate bowl, add the flour, oats, spices, and sugar. Stir to combine.
1 ½ Cups Old-Fashioned Oats, 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar, 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1 Pinch Salt
Add the butter and using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the butter. At the end, use your hands to combine everything into a thick paste.
3/4 Cup Butter
Spread topping mixture over fruit.
Change the smoker to 350 degrees.
Bake for 30 minutes with the smoker lid closed or until done. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes and serve with ice cream!
Notes
To peel peaches, start with perfectly ripe peaches. If they are under-ripe at all, the only way to peel them is by blanching them in hot water and cooling them in cold water. Then use a pairing knife to peel the skin off the fruit. If the fruit is ripe, gently peel the skin off of the fruit with a pairing knife by starting to cut and then, as the skin loosens, grab it with your thumb against the knife and gently peel.
The top should be crisp like a cookie when it is done. If it is still soft you need to keep baking.
Peach crisp can be stored in the pantry for 1 day; after that, it should be refrigerated.
