This easy peach crisp is one of my favorite desserts when I want something warm, comforting, and simple to make. I love how the juicy peaches bubble underneath a golden buttery topping that turns crisp and crunchy in the oven. It tastes incredible served warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it comes together with basic pantry ingredients and fresh peaches. The filling is sweet and juicy while the crisp topping adds the perfect crunchy texture. I also enjoy how easy it is to customize with different fruits or spices depending on the season. It is a simple dessert that always feels cozy and homemade.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the peach filling:

6 cups sliced fresh peaches
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the crisp topping:

1 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a large bowl, I combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
I spread the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, I mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until crumbly.
I sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.
I bake the crisp for about 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
I let the peach crisp cool slightly before serving.

Variations

I sometimes add blueberries or raspberries for extra fruit flavor.
I enjoy using nutmeg along with cinnamon for a warmer spice blend.
I like adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
I occasionally swap some of the peaches with nectarines or apples.
I sometimes drizzle caramel sauce over the warm crisp before serving.

storage/reheating

I store leftover peach crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When I want to reheat it, I place it in the oven at 350°F for several minutes until warmed through. I can also microwave individual portions, although the topping stays crispier when reheated in the oven.

FAQs

Can I use canned or frozen peaches?

I can use canned or frozen peaches if fresh peaches are unavailable. I make sure to drain canned peaches well and thaw frozen peaches before baking.

How do I keep the topping crispy?

I bake the crisp until the topping becomes deeply golden brown and avoid covering it while it cools.

Can I make peach crisp ahead of time?

I can assemble the crisp a few hours ahead and refrigerate it until ready to bake.

What should I serve with peach crisp?

I love serving it warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

I can substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use certified gluten-free oats.

Conclusion

This easy peach crisp is one of the simplest and most comforting desserts I can make. I love the combination of sweet peaches and crunchy oat topping, especially when served warm from the oven. Whether I make it for a family dessert or a casual gathering, it always brings cozy homemade flavor to the table.
