Recipe
Sweet, ripe peaches shine in this easy Homemade Peach Crisp recipe. Topped with a buttery oat crumble, it’s the perfect summer dessert.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups sliced peaches (about 6-8 peaches)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat evenly, then spread the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes:
For best results, use ripe peaches. If peaches are out of season, canned peaches (drained) can be used as a substitute.

What To Serve With It
When I serve my peach crisp, I love pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but you can’t go wrong with whipped cream either. For a fun twist, try caramel or cinnamon swirl ice cream, which adds a little extra flavor. Don’t be afraid to mix and match toppings to make it your own.
Ice Cream Pairings
What could make a warm, gooey peach crisp even better? A scoop of ice cream, of course! I love pairing it with a classic vanilla swirl—its creamy sweetness balances the tartness of the peaches perfectly. For a little extra indulgence, I’ll drizzle caramel on top, adding a rich, buttery note that ties everything together. Sometimes, I’ll try a cinnamon or honey-vanilla flavor for a fun twist. The contrast between the warm crisp and the cold ice cream is unbeatable. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll never enjoy peach crisp any other way!
Whipped Cream Options
Though ice cream is fantastic with peach crisp, let’s not overlook the charm of whipped cream—it’s light, fluffy, and just as delicious. I love how it adds a creamy layer to the warm, sweet peaches without being too heavy. If you’re looking for vegan options, coconut whipped cream is my go-to; it’s made from chilled coconut milk and has a slightly tropical twist. For other dairy free alternatives, try whipping up a batch using almond or oat-based creams—they’re just as dreamy and pair wonderfully with the fruity crunch of the crisp. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
