Easy Peach Crisp with Oats

You will love this Peach crisp with oats because juicy peaches meet a golden buttery oat topping! Whether you’ve got fresh peaches from the farmer’s market or a bag of frozen ones hiding in your freezer, this recipe is quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect summer dessert, but I won’t judge if you sneak a spoonful for breakfast.

This peach crisp with oats combines juicy peaches with a sweet and crumbly oat streusel topping. Trust me, after making this, you’ll be making it every Summer!

I love fruit crisps- even more than pie! There’s something about a sweet fruit filling underneath a crunchy and sweet oat topping. Perfectly served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I already have a delicious blueberry crisp recipe that I make every year, but it was high time I created a peach crisp recipe too!

Crisps are also much easier to make and less time-consuming than pies because you don’t have to make a pie crust. But, if you’re more of a pie fan, feel free to check out all my pie recipes!

Instructions for Easy Peach Crisp with Oats

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a deep dish 9-inch pie dish, 9-inch square pan, 10-inch cast iron skillet, or any 2-2.5 qt baking dish. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, toss the peaches with lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla until they are evenly coated.
3. Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Fold in the oats and pecans.
4. Assemble: Spread the peach mixture evenly in your greased baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping over the peaches.
5. Bake: Bake for 20–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
6. Serve: Let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack (if you can wait!), then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips & Variations

• Make it gluten-free: Swap flour for almond flour or a gluten-free blend.
• Frozen peach tip: It is best to first thaw them and drain any excess liquid to prevent the filling from becoming too watery. You can then use the thawed peaches in your recipe just as you would fresh ones. 

Storage

• Fridge: Store covered for up to 4 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes to keep the topping crisp.
• Freezer: Freeze assembled (unbaked) for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to the cook time.
