Ingredients You’ll Need
Here are a few notes on some of the key ingredients to make this gluten-free peach crisp. Jump to the recipe below for the exact measurements.
- Oats: Play it safe and use certified gluten-free rolled oats for the crumble topping. I’m a fan of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats for this peach crisp!
- Almonds: Peaches and almonds are a match made in heaven. Adding some almonds to the topping helps it turn out extra crunchy.
- Gluten-Free Flour: Pretty much any flour blend will work here! I like to use a high quality 1:1 gluten-free flour, like King Arthur Measure-for Measure Flour.
- Peaches: The most time consuming part of making this peach crisp is cutting up the fresh peaches! I look for sweet peaches that are at peak ripeness. You can blanch the peaches to speed up the peeling process!
- Spices: I love adding warm cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling. The spices give the peaches an extra boost of flavor!
Blanch the Peaches for Easy Skin Removal
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then place about 4 ripe peaches in the pot for 2 minutes.
- Scoop the peach out of the water with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl of ice water. The skin should then easily slide right off!
How to Make Gluten-Free Peach Crisp
Here’s an overview of how to make this peach crisp. You can jump to the recipe for the full instructions!
- Prep the topping: Add just 2/3 cup of the gluten-free oats plus all of the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, water, and salt. I like to use a food processor and pulse for 6-8 pulses.
- Add butter/almonds: Add in all of the butter and half of the almonds. You’ll want to pulse it until the butter is about the size of a pea and the mixture is crumbly.
- Finish the topping: Add in the rest of the almonds and the last 1/3 cup of oats. Just 2 quick pulses will do.
- In a separate bowl: The fresh peaches should be peeled and cut first. Then you’re ready to mix all filling ingredients together.
- Assemble for baking: Pour the filling into the pan. I like to use a 9×13 casserole dish.
- Top and bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly on top. Bake until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Make-Ahead/Storage/Freezing Instructions
To Make-Ahead: This is best eaten the day it’s made. To prepare in advance, you can make the topping and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to make the peach crisp. The peach filling can’t be made too far ahead of baking as the peaches will start to brown once they’re cut.
To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To Freeze: Let the baked peach crisp cool completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. Bake at 350ºF until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. Place foil on top if it starts to brown too much.
Can this gluten-free peach crisp be made dairy-free?
Definitely! You can use your favorite dairy-free butter to make it dairy-free.
Can I use frozen or canned peaches?
While I love using fresh peaches, I totally get the ease of using frozen or canned peaches! For canned, drain off the juice and give them a rinse before using. For frozen, thaw them completely. I like to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
What goes with this gluten-free peach crisp?
Top with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. You can even drizzle caramel on top. Whether you serve it plain or with these add-ons, you’ll be in summer dessert heaven!
Can I swap out the almonds?
You can use a different nut in place of almonds. Pecans or walnuts also go great in this topping! You can also leave out the nuts and add in more oats to make it nut-free.

I absolutely love this recipe! Easy and delicious! I made it with apricots because of the bountiful harvest of apricots I had this year! Made it on repeat until they were gone!

Can you use canned or frozen peaches?
Definitely, Diane! Fresh is our preference, but both canned and frozen work well with this recipe! For canned, drain the juice and give them a rinse before using. For frozen, let them thaw completely first. We hope you enjoy the crisp!
Loved this recipe. Added zested ginger to the peaches. Also baked it on the grill. The crisp has great texture and the peaches were perfectly tender.
