- Quick & Easy: Made with a handful of ingredients and ready in no time.

A peach crisp is a classic dessert made with peaches, lightly sweetened and spiced, then baked under a buttery oat topping until golden and crisp. It’s like a fruit cobbler’s crunchier cousin, with a toasty topping instead of a soft, doughy layer.
I love how simple it is to make – just a few ingredients and you’ve got a warm, comforting dessert that’s perfect on its own or with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.

Ingredients
If you have leftover ingredients from this single serve peach crisp recipe, check out our Leftover Ingredients Recipe Finder to find ways to use them.
- Peach: One medium to large peach (about 1 cup chopped). It should be slightly soft and have a deep yellow or orange base color. Slice in half and twist to separate. If the pit doesn’t come out easily, cut around it.
- Oats: Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Leftover oats can be used in butter pecan granola or in our recipe for small batch oatmeal cookies.

Recipe Variations
Customize your crisp with these simple tweaks:
- Add Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Nut Topping: Stir chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts into the oat topping.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use certified gluten-free oats and a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Mix in Berries: Swap half the peaches for berries.
How To Make A Peach Crisp
These photos and instructions help you visualize how to make an individual peach crisp. See the recipe card below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the chopped peach, sugar, flour, ginger, and vanilla. Peeling the peach is optional – like to leave the skin on, but it’s a personal choice.
- Assemble the Crisp: Transfer the peaches to a 10-ounce ramekin.
- Make the Topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, oats, and sugar. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend it in with a fork until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the Topping: Evenly scatter the topping over the peaches. Place the ramekin on a small rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake: Place in a 350°F (177°C) oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden and the peaches are bubbly.
Oat-Free Peach Crisp Option
If you don’t have oats or prefer a topping without them, use this simple alternative:
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over the peach filling. Bake as directed.
Expert Tips
- Choose a ripe peach: Look for one that’s slightly soft with a deep yellow or orange base. If using canned, drain well.
- Adjust sweetness: If your peach is extra sweet, you can slightly reduce the sugar in the filling.
- Use a baking sheet: Place the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any possible spills.
- Let it cool slightly before serving: The filling thickens as it cools, so wait a few minutes before serving.

I buy my peaches from the Peach Truck every year and I just had to make this recipe. It was so delicious with some vanilla bean ice cream. I love all your recipes so far!!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the peach crisp.
OMG! This was so good I’m glad I only made one serving!! I inhaled it! I did exchange the ginger for cinnamon since I don’t like ginger but otherwise I made it per the directions.
Do you drain canned peaches for this recipe?
Yes, canned and drained peaches work great.
