There is nothing quite like fresh, juicy peaches in the summertime! Over here, on the East Coast, farms stands line the sides of the highway that takes travelers to and from the beaches. Their gravel parking lots are always full with tourists and locals alike. And while they all offer a large variety of produce, peaches are definitely the most popular fruit!
With summer upon us and fresh peaches all around, I decided to take my fan-favorite Apple Cranberry Crisp recipe and transform it into a Peach Crisp recipe! The peaches have the same warm, spicy flavor as those in my Peach Cobbler recipe, but with a crispier, crunchier topping.
Why This Recipe Works
- Fresh peaches are plentiful in the summer and delicious in dessert recipes like this crisp!
- This is an easy to make recipe that can be doubled or tripled to serve a crowd during summer gatherings.
- Peach Crisp goes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon!
How to Make Peach Crisp
Prep!
Peel and slice your peaches. I used white peaches, but any variety will work just fine.
Butter the inside of a medium baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Create!
Add the peaches to a medium size bowl with brown sugar, flour (gluten free works, if needed), cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Pour evenly into the prepared baking dish.
For the topping, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter pieces to a small bowl. Mash with a fork, pastry cutter, or just use your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Tip: use gluten free oats and flour, if necessary.
Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the peaches.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Present!
Serve this Peach Crisp recipe with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
Enjoy!
