This peach crisp recipe is a delicious, easy summer dessert. Just slice up some sweet, juicy peaches, toss them with a little sugar, flour, lemon, and vanilla, and bake them with a quick brown sugar and oat crumble on top. The whole thing calls for 10 ingredients and is ready in under 45 minutes.

Peak-season peaches have always been one of my favorite parts of summer. While there’s nothing I love more than eating one over the sink, the juice dripping down my chin, this fresh peach crisp recipe is a close second. I’ve been making it for years, and this summer, I updated it with a simplified topping (the same one I use on my go-to apple crisp). It’s crisp, buttery, and warmly spiced with cinnamon, the perfect contrast to the tender peaches. Pro tip: Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to take the whole thing over the top.

Peach Crisp Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this peach crisp recipe:

• Peaches, of course! Any variety of fresh peaches will work in this recipe—yellow peaches, white peaches, donut, etc. They should be ripe but still the slightest bit firm so that they hold their shape in the oven. If you can’t find fresh peaches, frozen peaches are a good substitute. Thaw and drain them before using them in this recipe.
• Fresh lemon juice – Its brightness balances the sweet peach filling.
• Vanilla extract – I love the warm, buttery flavor of vanilla with peaches, so I add a dash of vanilla extract to the filling.
• All-purpose flour – It thickens the peach juices and helps the crumble topping clump together.
• Brown sugar and white sugar – I like to use brown sugar in the topping and granulated sugar in the filling to let the flavor of the peaches shine. If you’d like to simplify, feel free to use brown sugar in both places. It’ll add molasses-y depth of flavor to the peaches. Light brown sugar and dark brown sugar are both great!
• Whole rolled oats – Aka old fashioned oats. They crisp up nicely in the oven, adding a delicate crunch to the crumble topping. I don’t recommend substituting quick oats here. Because they’re thinner and smaller, they won’t get as crispy.
• Unsalted butter – It adds buttery flavor and brings the crumble topping together.
• Cinnamon – For warm depth of flavor.
• And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!

How to Make Peach Crisp

This peach crisp recipe has 3 simple steps:

1. Make the fruit filling. Pit and slice the peaches and toss them with the flour, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Spread them in a greased 9-inch square baking dish.

2. Make the crisp topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture until it crumbles. Sprinkle the crumble over the peaches in the baking dish.

3. Bake the peach crisp at 350°F until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peaches are bubbling. In my oven, this takes around 35 minutes. I’d start checking it at 30!

Let cool for 10 minutes, then devour with vanilla ice cream!

Notes

2026 update: I recently updated this recipe with a simplified oat topping based on reader feedback. If you'd like to make the previous version, use the same method with 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup crushed walnuts or pecans, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 cup cold coconut oil or butter.
