Peach Crisp Recipe

Warm, bubbly sliced peaches with a hint of cinnamon are baked under a buttery oat crumble that’s crisp and golden, for a dessert that’s easier than pie but just as satisfying!

Flavor: Juicy, sweet-tart peaches and a crunchy, oat-based topping make for a sweet summertime combination.
Skill Level: Crisps like cobblers and crumbles are free-form desserts that taste like pies without the complicated steps, making them very beginner-friendly!
Prep Note: Assemble up to a day ahead, chill, and bake when ready.
Serving Suggestions: Bake mini-peach crisps in ramekins for single-serve snacking. Serve with vanilla ice cream, homemade whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Ingredient Tips for Peach Crisp

Peaches: Fresh peaches work best in this recipe; feel free to peel or leave them unpeeled for a more rustic look. As the peels bake, they add a chewy texture to the filling. Frozen (and thawed) or canned (and drained) peaches will also work.
Topping: Use a gluten-free blend instead of all-purpose flour if desired. Rolled oatmeal is preferred over steel-cut or quick oats for the best texture. Coconut can be added for a little extra sweetness and texture if desired.
Nuts: Pecans, walnuts, almonds, or pistachios are all crunchy additions to this peach crisp recipe. Use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free crunch if desired. Toast the nuts in a dry sauté pan to make them extra crunchy and deepen their flavor.
Variations: Why stop at peaches? Toss in some sliced strawberries, blueberries, chopped cherries, raisins, or currants.

Peaches can vary in sweetness, so I love to taste them before adding them to the recipe and adjusting my sugar from there.
Don’t overmix the topping. You want small chunks of butter to create the best texture.
Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the fruit mixture to thicken slightly, making it easier to serve.

Keeping Peach Crisp Fresh

Store extra peach crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Peach crisp is delicious served cold, or it can be reheated in the microwave, oven, or air fryer. Make the topping crispy again by placing portions under the broiler.
