The BEST Peach Crisp with Fresh Peaches
If peaches are your favorite fruit, then you need this super easy peach crisp recipe. Made with fresh peaches, and topped with a simple cinnamon pecan crumble, it’s fantastic served with vanilla ice cream.
By making a few simple ingredient substitutions in the crumble, you can make this peach crisp recipe in a healthier way. A great option if you are looking to watch your calories but still want a delicious fruit dessert.
What do I need to make healthy peach crisp?
By making a few simple ingredient substitutions, you can make this delicious peach crisp recipe on the healthier side. Here’s a quick reference ingredient list of what you’ll need:
- Fresh peaches – if fresh peaches are out of season, a good substitute is frozen or canned peaches.
- Granular monk fruit sweetener, like Whole Earth – this gives the peaches a nice added sweetness and helps thicken the juices when the peaches bake.
- Dry Tapioca – because peaches become rather juicy when baked, the tapioca will help thicken and absorb the juice.
Crumble Topping:
- Oatmeal – old fashioned rolled oats are best, but you can also use instant oatmeal if that is what you have.
- Flour – you can also use oat flour, almond flour or a gluten-free flour, like King Arthur.
- Brown Sugar Substitute – my favorite product is Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute. Swerve helps reduce/eliminate the refined sugar in the crumble, yet keeps it crumbly and sweet.
- Cinnamon – adds amazing flavor to the crumble.
- Nutmeg – complementary to the cinnamon, it adds amazing flavor.
- Salt – a necessary ingredient to a crumble topping. Don’t eliminate this completely.
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Melted Butter – to make this crisp even healthier, a good substitute for the butter is also unflavored coconut oil or Ghee.
- Chopped Pecans

How do I make peach crisp with fresh peaches?
- When using fresh peaches to make peach crisp, start by blanching and slicing the peaches. To blanch a peach, bring a saucepan with water to a rolling boil. Gently place the peach in the boiling water for 45-60 seconds. Remove from boiling water and place on paper towels. Once cool to the touch, the skin of the peach will easily peel off, leaving the flesh of the peach in place. Slice the peaches.
- To the sliced peaches, add sweetener and dry tapioca and stir to coat. The sweetener and tapioca will help the juices of the peach absorb and be less runny. When baked the juices will form a pleasing gel-like consistency, keeping the topping crisp. Pour the peach mixture into a baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir together with a fork, breaking up any lumps of brown sugar. Add in the melted butter and pecans. Stir together forming a crumbly, gravel-like consistency.
- Evenly crumble the topping over the top of the peaches. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and baking another 10 minutes allowing the pecans to toast.
- Once done baking let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
How do I know when peach crisp is done baking?
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Crisp will be done when juices are bubbling through and the crumb topping is golden brown.
How do I make peach crisp healthy?
Here are the substitutions I would recommend to make this peach crisp healthy:
- Use granular monk fruit sweetener, like Whole Earth, instead of granular sugar (with the peaches)
- Oat flour instead of all-purpose flour
- Ghee or unflavored coconut oil instead of butter
- Swerve brown sugar substitute instead of brown sugar
Can I make peach crisp in individual bowls, like ramekins?
Yes, using oven-safe individual baking dishes like ramekins are a great way to make individual peach crisp desserts. I like these 4″ oven safe ramekins from Amazon.
Love a great single serving dessert? Try my Microwave Apple Crisp, Chocolate Protein Mug Cake and my Pumpkin Mug Cake recipes.
Does peach crisp freeze well?
Yes. I would recommend baking the crisp and then letting it cool completely to room temperature. Cover with press-and-seal plastic wrap, or transfer the crisp to a resealable plastic freezer container.
To reheat, place individual servings into ramekins or oven-safe dishes and heat until the crumble is golden brown; about 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.
You can also assemble the crisp, but not bake it. Freeze it by tightly wrapping with press-and-seal wrap and another layer of aluminum foil. When ready to bake, thaw to room temperature, and then bake according to recipe directions.
What can I serve peach crisp with?
Served warm, peach crisp is amazing topped with vanilla ice cream.

Too bad that this Grandma doesn’t do much cooking anymore. Sounds delicious!!!.
Grandma Ladene, this would be a great dish to share with your lunch group friends. Or, you could always make individual servings, freeze and thaw when a warm dessert sounds good. Love and miss you, Grandma!
