Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 stick cold salted butter, plus more for greasing
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 fresh peaches, sliced (5 or 6 cups)
Grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1
Begin by making the maple cream sauce.
2
It needs to chill before serving.
3
Pour the cream into a heavy saucepan.
4
Add the maple syrup and corn syrup.
5
Cook over a moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and reduced by about a third, about 20 minutes.
6
Chill for at least an hour before serving over the warm peach crisp.
7
To prepare the peach crisp, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch square or 8- by 12-inch baking dish.
8
Start with the crumb mixture.
9
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
10
Cut the cold butter into pieces.
11
Add the butter to the bowl and use a fork, pastry cutter or pastry blender to cut into the flour mixture.
12
The mixture should resemble a moist, coarse meal.
13
Place the peaches in a bowl, add the lemon zest to the peaches, mix in the lemon juice and maple syrup and gently stir the peaches to combine.
14
Pour the peaches into the prepared baking dish.
15
Top with the crumb mixture, evening out the surface with a fork.
16
Cover tightly with foil and bake, about 15 minutes.
17
Remove the foil and bake until the topping is crisp and golden brown, about 30 minutes more.
18
If the topping appears underdone, continue baking in 10 minute increments until it's done.
19
Spoon the warm crisp onto a plate, and drizzle the chilled maple cream sauce over the top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
