Amazing Peach Crisp Recipe

If there’s one dessert that feels like pure sunshine in a bowl, it’s a warm, bubbly peach crisp. Sweet, juicy peaches baked under a golden, buttery oat topping—what could be better? This peach crisp recipe is one of our all-time favorite ways to celebrate summer fruit, but honestly, we make it all year long (frozen peaches work perfectly too!).

We love this recipe because it’s simple enough for a weeknight, special enough for company, and always a hit with kids. It’s a great dessert for introducing little ones to baking—there’s lots of stirring, sprinkling, and tasting along the way! Plus, it’s lighter than a traditional cobbler but still gives you that same cozy, homemade flavor.

This crisp is made with real, wholesome ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen: oats, a bit of butter, cinnamon, and naturally sweet peaches. No complicated steps, no fancy equipment—just a quick mix, bake, and enjoy.

Why We Love It:

• It’s easy and kid-friendly. This recipe is simple enough for kids to help with—mixing the topping, sprinkling it over the fruit, and sneaking a few peach slices along the way!
• Made with wholesome ingredients. Oats, fresh fruit, and real butter come together for a dessert that tastes indulgent but is full of nourishing goodness.
• Perfectly adaptable. You can make it with fresh or frozen peaches, swap in other fruits like berries or apples, or adjust the sweetness depending on what’s in season.
• A lighter take on a classic dessert. This crisp gives you all the cozy comfort of cobbler without the heavy dough—just golden, crunchy goodness over juicy peaches.
• Great any time of year. Use fresh peaches in summer, frozen in winter, and enjoy that taste of sunshine whenever you need it.
• Versatile for any occasion. Serve it warm with ice cream after dinner, as part of a holiday spread, or with Greek yogurt for a breakfast that feels like a treat.
• A family favorite that disappears fast! Whether it’s weeknight dessert or Sunday dinner, everyone comes back for seconds (and maybe thirds).

Tips for Success:

Use ripe peaches: The riper your peaches, the sweeter and juicier your crisp will be!

Keep the topping chunky: When mixing, leave small buttery clumps for that perfect crisp texture.

Make ahead: You can prepare the topping up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to bake.

Serve it your way: Top with vanilla yogurt for a lighter dessert or classic vanilla ice cream for a treat.

Substitutions:

• Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free oats and substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for all-purpose flour.
• Dairy-Free: Replace butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
• Lower Sugar: Reduce the sugar in both filling and topping by ¼ cup each. Sweet peaches will still shine!
• Other Fruit Options: Try this recipe with berries, nectarines, or a mix of stone fruits for variety.

Note:

You can use fresh or frozen peaches for this recipe. If using frozen, make sure they’re fully thawed and drained before baking. To thaw quickly, refrigerate overnight or leave at room temperature for 3–4 hours.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating:

• Store: Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
• Reheat: Warm individual portions in the microwave for 20–30 seconds, or reheat the entire dish in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes.
