Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick & Easy: Made with a handful of ingredients and ready in no time.
  • Versatile: Use fresh or canned peaches and adjust the sweetness to your taste.
  • Easily Doubles: Make one crisp or double it to make a peach crisp for two.
  • Deliciously Comforting: Juicy peaches with a buttery oat topping in every bite.

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 vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

  • 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.
  • Sugar: Sweetens the filling and crisp topping. Swap white sugar for brown in the topping for deeper flavor.
  • All-purpose flour: Thickens the filling and adds texture to the topping.
  • Ground ginger: Complements the peaches.
  • Vanilla: Adds depth and warmth.
  • Oats: Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Leftover oats can be used in Butter Pecan Granola or Oatmeal Cookies.
  • Butter: Softened butter binds the topping. It should be cool to the touch but soft enough to leave an indentation when pressed.

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 step-by-step photos and instructions help you visualize how to make an individual peach crisp. See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.

  1. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the chopped peach, sugar, flour, ginger, and vanilla. Peeling the peach is optional—I like to leave the skin on, but it’s a personal choice.

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.

    Peach crisp was great. Not too sweet. Easy to fix. Almost would have served two (but I was hungry).

    1. Joanie Zisk says:

      I’m so happy you loved the recipe, Cheryl. Thank you so much for letting me know!

  8. Cheryl says:

    Iโ€™m so glad I found you. My husband died in May. He was a โ€œbigโ€ eater, and thatโ€™s the way I had always cooked. After his death, I found myself at a loss as to how or if to cook. Enjoying your small portions. Peach Crisp is in the oven.

    1. Joanie Zisk says:

      Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for your email. I’m so happy you found our site too and I hope you enjoy the Peach Crisp. If there is a particular dish that you love and would like to see it scaled down to serve one, please let me know. I would love to create it for you. Have a wonderful weekend!
