Peach Crisp is a delightfully sweet, fruity, and crumbly dessert that all ages enjoy. This easy recipe features fresh peaches, brown sugar, oats, and a collection of seasonings that add so much flavor.

This easy peach crisp recipe comes together in less than an hour, making it ideal for busy summer days.

“Oh my lanta. So flipping good! Thank you for this yummy and easy recipe!” – Ellie

What’s the Difference Between Peach Cobbler and Peach Crisp?

I had to do a little research to figure this out myself. According to Master Class:

“Fruit cobblers are a freeform dessert with a fruit base and biscuit topping. The name cobbler comes from the shape of the batter or biscuit dough dropped in dollops on the fruit, which puff up to look like cobblestone streets.”

“Fruit crisps have a golden brown streusel crumble topping made of a combination of butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, and more. Both the fruit and the topping tend to have a slight “crisp” to them.”

What Type of Peaches Should I Use?

Here’s the good news: any variety of peach will work! Just keep in mind, the riper the better.

If you find yourself working with peaches that are firm and not at their peak ripeness, panic not. You can just add a bit more sugar to the peach filling to compensate.

Can I Use Canned Peaches?

While I have never actually used canned peaches for this recipe, I have read from other sources that it works to use them. I’d suggest draining the peaches of their juice before any of the steps below.

Do I Have to Peel the Peaches?

Whether you peel the peaches or not is a matter of preference. I never do.

It doesn’t affect the flavor either way. The skin brings a pop of color and touch more nutrition, so I choose to not peel my peaches.

Plus it takes a lot of extra time to peel 5 peaches. So… no thanks to that option.

Make the Topping

In a mixing bowl, add the topping ingredients. Stir those together.

Dry ingredients for peach crisp

You’ll need to cut in the butter before you sprinkle the topping over the peaches. Use a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands.

Bake

Bake the Peach Crisp until the top begins to brown and you can see bubbling on the sides of the dish.

How to Serve Peach Crisp

My favorite way to serve Peach Crisp is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

You can also serve it with whipped cream.

      If you wrap it very tightly, I’d say 1-2 months.

    Doubled this for my extended family and it was so good straight from the oven with some vanilla ice cream. The leftovers (not that there was a lot) were good cold and reheated!

    Oh my lanta. So flipping good! Thank you for this yummy and easy recipe! I made this last night— the cousins (almost) polished it off… which was perfect because it conveniently pairs so well with coffee.
