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!

easy-homemade-fresh-peach-crisp

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!

    I have been making Peach Crisp for 40 years using a family recipe. I saw your recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it because you use brown sugar instead of all white sugar. I must say that yours is the best peach dessert I’ve ever had! It tasted so much like my Mom’s peach pie. I froze some to see if that would work and it does. It wasn’t crisp up it wasn’t mushy either. I will be making this for as long as peach season hold out and also freezing some in small containers so I can enjoy it this winter. Thanks for the tasty dessert!

    This turned out delicious! My picky family LOVED it! The recipe was easy to follow and pretty simple – a must for me in the kitchen! 😉
    Thank you for the great recipe!

    Could I half this recipe and bake in an 8×8? It’s just my husband and me, we won’t be able to finish a full 9×13.

    I have this in the oven and am making it for the second time. You can’t get anything better than fresh peach crisp with a scoop of ice cream on top on a summer day! It’s worth the work and I Iove to make it when peaches are on sale. It’s an affordable, decadent desert!

    I made this for a community potluck and it was gone in seconds! Definitely one of my favorite summer recipes.

    • Dee says

      I usually go with enough peaches to cover the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan, so I would eyeball it. I’ll have to measure out cups next time. 🙂

        I was going to use frozen peaches in the bag. Did you find out about how much??
        Have arthritis and can’t cut them any more.

        • Dee says

          I believe a 16-ounce bag of frozen peaches would work. I’m going to try making it from frozen this week, so I can say for sure.

    • Dee says

      I’ve never done it, but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. You could definitely try. 🙂

    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!

    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.

    • Dee says

      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.

    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….

    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 .

  14. Chassidy says

    I’m confused about the butter. So add the whole 1/2 cup with sugar and flour. But add more dots over the filling?

    • Dee says

      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.

    This happened to my parents all the time, and I know I would have the same problem with all of the birds around here! 🙂

  28. Carol says

    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!

  29. Angie says

    This looks wonderful! I've had wild cravings lately for peaches, peaches and cream, and apricots. I love peach crisp.
