This easy Fresh Peach Crisp recipe is made from scratch with a light topping that doesn’t contain oats. It’s a delicious way to celebrate peach season!
How many of you like peaches? I absolutely, positively love them, and I’m always so happy when peach season rolls around. Last year, I shared a recipe for a super easy peach dump cake made with canned peaches, which is one of my family’s favorite desserts. So this year, I thought I’d share this sweet and juicy Fresh Peach Crisp made with fresh peaches, which is another wonderful way to enjoy the taste of this versatile fruit!
A few years ago, Hubs and I took the kids peach picking at an organic farm not too far from here. It was in the middle of July, and it was incredibly hot out, and there were ants the size of elephants roaming around the orchard. But, but we came home with loads of tender, juicy fresh peaches, and I made a very tasty peach crisp for dessert that night.
The family absolutely refuses to go back to that orchard, no matter how hard I try to convince them, so I’ve been buying peaches at a local farmers market. They’re still good, and they work very well for baking, but really, nothing compares to picking peaches straight off the tree. So if you have the chance, definitely go for it!

Hubby’s mom used to make peach crisps without oats, and I followed his directions for the basic ingredients. Of course, I tweaked it a little!
Fresh peach crisp is best served warm, almost right out of the oven. Around here, some people don’t even use plates!
You can eat it just like this, or you can make it even better by topping the whole thing off with a very generous spoonful of vanilla ice cream. Give it a minute, and the ice cream will slowly trickle down over the crisp, crunchy topping and slide down into the juicy peach filling. You can then enjoy it by the fork full or spoon full, whichever you prefer.
Certain people in our home, who shall remain nameless, kept on sneaking tastes of the peach crisp, and now all that’s left of this wonderful dessert fits into a very, very small bowl. And, I’m positively sure that it will be completely gone by the end of the day! It’s that good. Really!

Peaches are so sweet and fragrant right now. I love them. I think even a "non baker" like me could whip this up.
Thanks! I love that this easy to make, and my kids were able to help out too! 🙂
This looks so good! We eat a lot of ice cream during the summer and this would be great to eat with it.
It definitely goes great with ice cream! 🙂
Oh yes please! This looks wonderful. I am boring and only ever make apple crisp. This needs to change because I'm having a major craving now.
Oh my goodness, that peach crisp has my mouth watering! Sounds amazing. 🙂
This looks wonderful! I've had wild cravings lately for peaches, peaches and cream, and apricots. I love peach crisp.
This looks so delicious, Dee! We planted a peach tree here last year, and it was loaded with beautiful little peaches that ripened and provided many hungry birds with a great delicacy while we were on our trip to Europe. Timing is everything!
Thanks, Michele — it really was wonderful! 🙂
I love apple crisp too, but peaches are my favorite. 🙂
This happened to my parents all the time, and I know I would have the same problem with all of the birds around here! 🙂
This looks delicious! Perfect comfort food! Pinning!
I missed lunch today and this is sooooo delicious looking. I've got to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing. I saw your link at the Treasure Hunt Thursday link party.
Thanks, Angie. I've had the same cravings lately too! 🙂
Thanks so much, Michele! And you're right — it is very comforting! 🙂
I'm so glad you stopped by! I hope you enjoy it as much as we all did! 🙂
This looks so yummy!! Now I know what to make with all of my peaches. Thanks for sharing on the #mondayfundayparty!
Thanks so much! We're buying so many peaches that I'll have to make some more. 🙂
I am so ready for peach season. My favorite.
I love peaches and peach crisp is among my favorite things! 🙂 This looks great!! I will have to try your recipe out after the farmers market this weekend, they have the best peaches! 🙂

I’m confused about the butter. So add the whole 1/2 cup with sugar and flour. But add more dots over the filling?
Yes — There is 1/2 cup butter in the topping and another tablespoon of butter that goes over the peaches before the topping is added.
I made this tonight. It was DELICIOUS and very easy!
I’m so happy you liked it! Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Can I do this with canned peaches ? It’s my moms favorite, and I’d like to make it for her birthday . I will go buy fresh but I was just thinking the juice in the peaches would be an extra shot of flavor .
You could use canned peaches. I have a similar recipe that uses canned peaches here Easy Peach Cake
It’s in the oven right now and smells awesome! I can’t wait to taste it! It’s not that easy to find crisp recipes without oats!!
I will comment again after I taste it, but right now I give it 5 stars!
Thank you….
My family doesn’t like the ones with oats either. Let me know how it goes! 🙂
Made this today. Very tasty but I couldn’t get the topping to crisp. I ended up broiling it to get it cooked some. The filling was very juicy and was bubbling up over the topping. I was wondering if I used too many peaches. I used 9 white peaches but they were fairly large. Do you use smaller peaches? Suggestions? Thanks for the recipe.
Hmm. That may be the reason. I usually find medium-sized peaches in the store,and I have never had any issues. I’ll have to see if that makes a difference next time.
This tasted great! I only used 4 peaches instead of 8-10- I don’t know if they were a different size or what. 4 thinly sliced peaches filled the bottom of the pan very nicely. I’ll be making this again!
Awesome, Gina! So glad you liked it! 🙂
Could this be made and froze unbaked? Thanks!
I’ve never done it, but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. You could definitely try. 🙂
