The Difference Between Peach Crisp and Peach Cobbler

Also known as peach crumble, peach chips contain a layer of sliced ​​fruit on the bottom and are topped with a crunchy crumble made of butter, sugar, sometimes oats, and flour.

Instead of a crumbly topping, fruit cobbler recipes call for a thicker dough similar to dumplings, cookies, pie crust, or scones.

Easy peach crisp ingredients

Here’s what you need for the recipe: sliced ​​peaches, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, flour, sweetener of your choice, and butter or a neutral oil.

For a peach crisp without the oatmeal, there is also a low-carb option using almond flour, which is included in the recipe below.

For a fun twist, you can substitute apples or pineapples for the peaches. Or substitute blueberries or sliced ​​strawberries for up to half of the peaches.

And feel free to stir a handful of shredded coconut or finely chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds into the crumble after slicing the butter.

Unlike many other crunchy fruit recipes, this one doesn’t contain cornstarch!

Can you use canned or frozen peaches?

You absolutely can, and it makes the recipe even easier to put together.

Frozen peaches are already peeled and sliced. All you have to do is thaw the wrappers and wipe away any excess water or ice before proceeding.

If using canned peaches in juice instead of fresh peaches, drain the cans completely before measuring out six cups of the fruit.

How to Crisp the Best Peach

If using fresh peaches, peel and cut them and discard the pits.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix the sliced ​​peaches with the sweetener and cinnamon to coat evenly.

Spread in an 8-inch casserole dish or cast iron skillet and set pan aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients except the butter or coconut oil in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or cookie cutter, cut in the butter and continue to break up large chunks of topping until small crumbles form.

Sprinkle the crunchy topping over the cinnamon peaches. Then place the casserole dish on the middle shelf of the oven.

Bake for 50 minutes or until the peaches are bubbly and caramelized with a crisp golden topping.

Portion the peach dessert into individual bowls. Serve hot or cold and top the recipe with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Healthy Peach Crisp Recipe

With six cups of peaches, which are high in vitamins A and C, and less than 1/2 cup of sugar for the entire pan, this fruit chip is a great, healthy dessert option.

For a vegan peach crisp recipe, simply use your favorite vegetable butter or oil option. The dessert is of course egg-free and can be gluten-free.

If you’re looking for a dessert with no added sugar, you can substitute date sugar for the sweetener, or you can substitute sugar-free xylitol or granulated erythritol or allulose.

Storage Instructions

Homemade Peach Crisp Recipes are best served the day they are made, as the oat topping has the best crunchy texture.

To keep the dessert fresh and prevent it from becoming soggy, store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Be sure to leave a small opening in the container. This will prevent excess moisture from being trapped and softening the base.

The peach dessert can also be frozen. Thaw and reheat before serving if you prefer hot peach chips rather than eating them cold.
