The difference between Peach Crisp and Peach Cobbler

Peach chips, also known as peach crumble, consist of a layer of sliced ​​fruit on the bottom and are topped with crunchy crumbles made of butter, sugar, sometimes oatmeal, and flour.

Instead of a crumbly topping, fruit cobbler recipes call for a thicker batter reminiscent of dumplings, dripping cookies, pie crust, or scones.

Simple peachy crunchy ingredients

Here’s what you need for the recipe: sliced ​​peaches, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, flour, sweetener of your choice, and butter or a neutral oil.

For a peach crisp without oats, there is also a low-carb version with almond flour in the recipe below.

For a fun twist, you can substitute apples or pineapples for the peaches. Or substitute blueberries or sliced ​​strawberries for up to half of the peaches.

And after cutting the butter, feel free to stir a handful of grated coconut or finely chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds into the crumble.

Unlike many other fruit crisp recipes, this one doesn’t contain cornstarch!

Can you use canned or frozen peaches?

It’s definitely possible, and it makes the recipe even easier to put together.

Frozen peaches are already peeled and sliced. So all you have to do is thaw the packets and wipe off any excess water or ice before proceeding.

If using canned peaches in juice instead of fresh peaches, drain the cans completely before measuring out 6 cups of the fruit.

How to make the best peach crisp

If using fresh peaches, peel, slice and remove the pits.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the sliced ​​peaches in a large bowl with the sweetener and cinnamon to evenly coat.

Spread in a 20cm casserole dish or cast iron skillet and set pan aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients except butter or coconut oil in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or cookie cutter, cut in the butter while continuing to break up large chunks of topping until small crumbles form.

Sprinkle the crunchy topping over the cinnamon peaches. Then place the casserole dish on the middle shelf of the oven.

Bake for 50 minutes or until the peaches are bubbly and caramelized with a crisp golden finish.

Portion the peach dessert into individual bowls. Serve hot or cold and refine the recipe with ice cream or whipped cream as desired.

Peach Crumble Topping

The recipe is sweet and delicious on its own. Or top it off with any of the following:

coconut ice cream

almond milk ice cream

oat milk ice cream

coconut whipped cream

keto ice cream

With such healthy ingredients, you could even eat it for breakfast! Try serving the crunchy whole wheat oatmeal on top of the chia pudding.

Or add a scoop of plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt for a delicious and balanced breakfast packed with antioxidants, protein, calcium and fiber.

Healthy Peach Crisp Recipe

With six cups of peaches, which are high in vitamins A and C, and less than 1/2 cup of sugar for the entire skillet, this fruit chip is a great, healthy dessert option.

For a vegan peach crisp recipe, simply use your favorite dairy-free butter or oil option. The dessert is naturally egg-free and may be gluten-free.

If you’re looking for a dessert with no added sugar, you can substitute date sugar or sugar-free xylitol or granulated erythritol or allulose for the sweetener.

Storage Instructions

Homemade Peach Crisp recipes are best served the day they are made, as the oat topping has the best crispy texture.

To keep the dessert fresh and prevent it from becoming soggy, store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Be sure to leave a small opening in the container. This prevents excess moisture from being trapped and softening the base.

The peach dessert can also be frozen. Defrost and reheat the peach before serving if you’d rather eat it hot and crunchy than cold.
