I love fresh fruit desserts like this peach crisp. It’s the perfect thing to serve at a summer party or just to enjoy after dinner with the family.

- TIME: This recipe takes about an hour.
- EASE: This is a surprisingly easy dessert. It’s mostly pantry staples, seasonal fruit, and a few simple steps I’ll walk you through.
what you will need
Notes on ingredients
- peach This is the star of the recipe, so choose good quality peaches that are ripe and juicy. Avoid hard or too soft bruises or stains.
- Oats- This adds texture and a bit of delicious chew to the topping.
- Brown sugar- This ingredient doubles as a thickener for the syrupy peach filling and as a sweet component in the oat topping.
- pecans- Look for raw pecan chunks, as you don’t want them to be oversized or already salted for this recipe.
- lemon juice This adds a bright citrus note but also keeps the peaches from losing their gorgeous color.
Add-Ins and Substitutions
- Use canned or frozen peaches. You can also make this with frozen and canned peaches if you don’t have fresh ones. Just make sure they’re thawed and drained so the filling doesn’t become soggy.
- Substitute other fruit This recipe can be prepared with many other fruits such as apples, plums, pears, blueberries, cherries or strawberries.
- Make it gluten free- This is an easy swap of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour.
- Remove the skins– You can make this recipe with or without peach peels. If you prefer a smoother texture, simply remove the skin from the peach before preparing your peach crisp.
How to make peach crispy
- Make the topping. Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. Then add the butter and brown sugar and mix with a pastry cutter until the butter is about the size of a pea. Finally, add your chopped pecans and mix again. Put aside.
- Prepare peaches. Now, in a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- Assemble the peach crisp. Spread the sliced butter on the bottom of your casserole dish. Then add the peaches and finally distribute the topping and press lightly.
- Bake. Bake the chips at 365 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Pro tip: Slightly compress the topping into the peaches. This will help it stick so the topping won’t fall off if you cut off a slice after baking.
recipe tips
- Make it with fresh peaches– While you can use frozen or canned, this dish tastes best with fresh peaches. They have the best flavor and texture and are plentiful this time of year.
- Use a cookie cutter This tool is very helpful for cutting the butter into the sugar and other ingredients without melting it (like using your hands) while getting it just the right size.
- Don’t skip the butter on the bottom- Adding butter to the casserole dish before the peaches prevent them from sticking and burning, making them difficult to get out for serving.
- Push the pad down- As the oat topping dries from baking, it will easily separate from the peaches. Squeezing gently will help stick to the top of your peach chip.
frequently asked Questions
A peach cobbler topping resembles a cookie dough or topping, while a peach crisp has a more crumbly texture, similar to crumbles. It’s usually made with rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, and some kind of nuts.
The baked peaches still have a lot of juice, so the topping will get soggy if it sits too long. Make sure to serve this peach crisp soon after you make it. If your filling is too wet, it can cause the chips to become mushy. So make sure to drain the excess liquid if using frozen canned or thawed peaches.
serving suggestions
This delicious peach crisp recipe is a versatile dessert that pairs great with so many others. You can serve it at backyard grills, potlucks, and summer parties.
- toppings: This dessert is so good with toppings like caramel sauce, whipped cream, chocolate ganache, and bread pudding sauce.
- ice cream: Top a warm slice of Peach Crisp with some cold ice cream like vanilla, strawberry, or this Easy Ube Ice Cream.
- Cake: Serve this dish alongside blueberry pie, homemade apple pie, and cherry pie.
- Cake: This would taste delicious with some no-bake mini cheesecakes, raspberry honey cake, strawberry bundt cake, or lemon pound cake.
Make this recipe ahead of time
Go on: This peach crisp should be served shortly after cooking to prevent the topping from becoming soggy. The peaches in the dessert will release juice as they sit, so eat them soon after preparation. However, you can prepare the topping ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
storage: To save any leftovers, place the peach chips in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Freeze: You can freeze the fruit filling in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. But I don’t recommend freezing the whole baked peach crisp because the topping will melt and become mushy when thawed.
