How to Make This Easy Peach Crisp
Alright, let’s get this peach crisp party started! It’s seriously so simple, getting this beautiful dessert into the oven takes barely any time at all. You’ll be so proud of your quick peach treat!
️
Prepare the Peaches
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a big bowl and toss all those lovely sliced peaches with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, a little squeeze of lemon juice, that warm cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Give it all a gentle mix until the peaches are nicely coated. Then, just pour this fruity mixture straight into your oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Easy peasy!
️
Create the Oat Topping
Now for the best part – that crunchy oat topping! In a separate bowl, whisk together your gluten-free rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, the rest of the cinnamon, and that little bit of salt. Chop up your cold butter into small cubes and toss them in. Now, get your fingers in there (or use a pastry blender if you prefer) and rub the butter into the dry stuff until it all looks like chunky, delicious crumbs. That’s your perfect peach crumble topping taking shape!
️
Assemble and Bake Your Peach Crisp
Time to bring it all together! Sprinkle that amazing oat topping nice and evenly all over the peaches in your skillet. Try to cover all those juicy peaches. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. You’re looking for that topping to be a beautiful golden brown and the peach filling underneath to be all bubbly and luscious. It smells absolutely incredible when it’s baking – a real skillet peach dessert treat!

Cool and Serve
Once it’s golden and bubbly, carefully take it out of the oven. Let your gorgeous peach crisp cool for just about five minutes before you dig in. This helps it set up just a little bit. It’s so worth the tiny wait, trust me!
Tips for the Perfect Peach Crisp
Want to make sure your *easy peach crisp* turns out absolutely amazing every single time? It’s all about a few little secrets that make a big difference, even for a quick peach treat like this. Here are my go-to tips for that perfect fresh peach crumble!
Choosing the Best Peaches
When picking your peaches, look for ones that are ripe but still feel firm to the touch, not completely mushy. They should have a lovely smell, too! If they’re a little underripe, don’t worry, they’ll soften right up while baking in this delicious peach crisp. The key is for them to hold their shape a bit so you get those wonderful, juicy peach bites.
Achieving a Crispy Topping
The best part of any crisp is that incredible topping, right? For the crunchiest, most golden oat topping, make sure your butter is super cold when you cube it and toss it into the dry ingredients. Also, try not to overmix once you start cutting the butter in. You want those little crumbly bits; overworking it can make it turn into a paste, and nobody wants a gooey topping on their peach crisp!
Serving Suggestions for Your Peach Crisp
Okay, so your amazing peach crisp is out of the oven, smelling incredible, and looking perfectly bubbly. Now, what’s the best way to enjoy it? For me, it’s all about those classic pairings that just make the whole dish sing. This *peach crisp* is so versatile, but a few things just hit the spot every time!
The Classic Ice Cream Pairing
You absolutely cannot go wrong with a scoop (or two!) of good old vanilla ice cream melting into a warm serving of this peach crisp. The contrast of the warm, spiced peaches and crunchy topping with the cold, creamy sweetness is just pure heaven. It’s the ultimate summer dessert combo, hands down!
A Dollop of Cream
If ice cream isn’t your thing, or maybe you want something a little lighter, a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream is divine. Or, a nice drizzle of heavy cream can add just that touch of richness without overwhelming the beautiful peach flavor. It’s simple, elegant, and oh-so-delicious!
Frequently Asked Questions About Peach Crisp
I get asked about this *peach crisp* recipe all the time, and I love it! It’s so simple, but a couple of little questions always pop up. Here are the answers to some of the most common ones, ensuring your *easy peach crisp* turns out perfectly every time!
Can I use frozen peaches for this peach crisp?
You can! If you’re using frozen peaches, there’s no need to thaw them first. Just toss them in the filling ingredients as they are. You might need to bake it for a few extra minutes, maybe 5-10, because the frozen fruit will take a bit longer to heat up and get bubbly. Easy peasy!
How do I make this peach crisp dairy-free?
Making this into a dairy-free *fresh peach crumble* is super simple! Just swap out the butter for a good-quality dairy-free butter alternative. There are tons of great ones on the market now that work just like regular butter in baking. Use your favorite one, and you’ll have a delicious dairy-free dessert
What if I don’t have gluten-free oats?
If you don’t need a gluten-free peach crisp, you can absolutely use regular rolled oats. They’ll work perfectly fine in the topping! The recipe calls for certified gluten-free oats mainly for those who need to avoid gluten. If you’re not worried about gluten, feel free to use whatever rolled oats you have on hand.
Storing and Reheating Your Peach Crisp
Got leftover *peach crisp*? Lucky you! Just let it cool down completely, then pop it into an airtight container or cover it really well with plastic wrap and foil. It should stay yummy in the fridge for about 3-4 days. When you’re ready for more, just pop a serving in the microwave for a quick reheat, or if you want that topping extra crispy again, I love giving it a few minutes in a toaster oven or a warm regular oven!
