This recipe is based off of my cranberry apple crisp that I serve during the holidays (have you tried it yet?). I love fruit crisps because they’re so simple to make, but taste like you spent hours preparing them.

Peach crisp is an easy dessert that’s made with mostly fridge and pantry staple ingredients. You probably already have everything you need to make it (except the peaches!).

Ingredients Notes

Overhead view of ingredients for making fresh peach crisp.

Fresh peaches – you’ll need three pounds (about 7 large peaches) peeled, pitted and sliced.
Oats – old fashioned
Sugar – white granulated sugar for the peach mixture and brown sugar for the topping. Light or dark brown sugar can be used.
Cinnamon and nutmeg – used in both the filling and the topping. Feel free to adjust the amounts to your personal taste!
Flour – used in both the filling and the topping (all-purpose flour).
Butter – melted
Pecans – I love the added texture and flavor of chopped pecans in the oat topping, but feel free to omit them, if desired.

How to Make it

Transfer the peaches to a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Prepare the oat topping by stirring together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pecans in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until incorporated.
Sprinkle topping mixture over fruit mixture. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until edges are bubbling and fruit is tender.
