This peach crisp is one of my favorites! As the peaches cook, they release all of their sugars and become super gooey. And that topping! Itās like a crazy delicious oatmeal cookie on top.
Easy Peach Crisp Recipe
This homemade peach crisp is insanely good! It takes about 10 minutes of hands on prep, and then itās ready to go into the oven.Ā If you really want a delicious treat, top the whole thing off with a little bit of vanilla ice cream and serve while itās still warm. You wonāt find a more perfect summer dessert!
The warm topping and peaches slowly melt away as you eat it, which makes for a perfect combination of hot out of the oven crisp and cool, smooth ice cream. Take a spoonful with a little bit of each and youāll have perfection in every bite. So delicious!
Youāll never go back to plain, run of the mill desserts again! Whipped topping is good too. Not fantastic or anything, but it will do in a pinch. If doesnāt happen to be peach season, but you are craving the comfort of a fruit crisp, try our apple crisp recipe! Drooling!

Can I Use Canned or Frozen Peaches?
You already know what Iām going to say, donāt you? Fresh is best 9 times out of 10, so go with fresh in all things! But if you absolutely must (I know, the peak season for fresh peaches is so short š«), yes, canned or frozen peaches will do.
Just pay attention to the sugar on them. Frozen peaches tend to not be sweet enough and canned are usually too sweet. For canned peaches, drain them first. For frozen peaches, you can cook them from frozen (just add 5-10 extra minutes of baking time), or you can thaw them first (drain off any excess peach juice) and keep the baking time the same.
What Peaches are Best for Baking?
If youāre headed to the grocery store for peaches to bake with, go for the freestone peaches. They can be yellow or white, but when you cut into them, the pit will fall right out. They are sweet, a little bit tangy and full of flavor. Perfect for baking crisps, cobblers, pies and crumbles! For a list of my favorite freestone peaches, head to our peach c
