There is nothing better than a mouth-watering peach crisp as a summertime dessert. Using this gorgeous seasonal fruit makes for the perfect crisp, especially when they are naturally ripe and sweet. You can expect a gooey peach filling topped with a crumbly, nutty topping. Both textures together work so beautifully. Enjoy this easy peach crisp recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect bite, because nothing is better than a warm fruit dessert with ice cream!

Another thing I love about this dessert is that it is truly effortless and rustic. You don’t need to worry about how it looks or need any fancy equipment or ingredients. It is truly a no-fuss recipe. Better yet, you can prep the filling and topping separately ahead of time and toss them together right before baking, making it even more convenient if needed.

How to make this peach crisp Vegan & GF:

This dairy-free peach crisp can also be easily modified to be vegan and gluten-free. Substitutions to do so are in the recipe card below! This peach crisp you will find is lighter than most, as it doesn’t have as much sugar. The sugar used is coconut sugar, and the fat is coconut oil instead of butter. The peach crisp topping has both oats and pecans for the perfect crunch duo, and the cinnamon throughout is just heavenly.

Can this peach crisp be prepared in advance?

Yes!! Most of the steps for this easy peach crisp can be done ahead of time, making it effortless. Typically, I slice the ripe peaches the day before and place them in the desired baking dish I plan to serve them in. I add all the components for the peach filling, such as vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, cornstarch, and sugar.

I also prepare the crisp topping the day before by tossing together the brown sugar, oats, pecans, flour, and cinnamon. The only thing left to do is add a bit of vanilla and melted coconut oil the day of, and mix. Then, this will be on top of the peaches, and into the oven it goes. The hardest part is waiting for the peach crisp to bake and slightly cool before digging in.

Notes

You must use RIPE peaches or else it will not tenderize in time and not be as tasty. Also, ripe peaches are naturally sweeter which works in this recipe as there isn’t as much sugar as other recipes.
You can use walnuts or almonds in place of pecans but pecans offer the best taste!
