Do you love summer peaches as much as I do? Peach crisp is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh peaches.
This peach crisp is made with sweet, juicy peaches and a toasty oat topping made with brown sugar and almonds. Add a scoop of ice cream and you’ll be in summer dessert heaven!
Ingredients for Gluten-Free Peach Crisp
- Oats: Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats in this peach crisp. This is my favorite brand. Rolled oats work best in this topping!
- Almonds: Peaches and almonds are a match made in heaven. Adding some almonds to the topping helps it turn out extra crispy.
- Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Flour: Pretty much any flour blend will work here! I like to use a high quality 1:1 baking flour.
- Fresh Peaches: The most time consuming part of making this peach crisp is cutting up the peaches! You can blanch the peaches to speed up the peeling process.
Blanch the Peaches for Easy Skin Removal
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then place about 4 peaches in the pot for 2 minutes.
- Scoop the peach out of the water with a slotted spoon into a bowl of ice water. The skin should then easily slide off!
Make the Filling
- Once you have your peaches peeled, mix them together with the rest of the ingredients for the filling.
- Then you’ll pour them into a 9×13 baking pan.
Make the Topping
- In a food processor, pulse ⅔ cup of the oats, flour, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, water, and salt.
- Add ½ the almonds and butter and pulse to form pea-sized pieces.
- Add the remaining almonds and ⅓ oats and combine with 2 quick pulses.
- Sprinkle the topping over the filling, then bake!
Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions
MAKE-AHEAD: This gluten-free peach crisp is best eaten the day it’s made. If you want to make it in advance, you can mix together the topping and keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make the peach crisp.
Unfortunately the peach filling can’t be made too far in advance as the peaches will brown once they’re cut.
STORAGE: Store any leftover peach crisp covered in the refrigerator.
You really can’t beat a bowl of fresh peach crisp. Serve this peach crisp with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or even drizzle of caramel. You’ll be in summer dessert heaven!

Delicious!! I used oat flour instead of 1:1 and it came out great!!
Maureen says
Delicious. Picked peaches from our yard and used them for this. So good warm with vanilla ice cream. We had chopped pecans ( no almonds) and it worked out just fine. Thanks for a great recipe that the whole family can enjoy…doesn’t taste gluten free. 🙂
Erin Collins says
I’m so glad it turned out for you! Sounds tasty with the pecans 🙂
Sharon Lee says

Just stumbled on this site looking for gluten free peach crisp. My husband adores peach crisp/cobblers but recently I was diagnosed with non-celiac gluten intolerance. This recipe will make both of us happy (will skip anything coconut though as my husband is allergic to it!). Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely giving it a try this week,peaches being on sale at the grocery store this week! Bonus!!!
Erin Collins says
I hope you liked it! Good luck starting a gluten-free diet! Let me know if I can help with any questions!
Dallas says
Seriously??!!??!! Delicious! The bomb diddy! I made it for the 4th of July and I doubled the recipe to make a huge pan. It evaporated very quickly!
Katie says
Great recipe – thank you for sharing! Made this for a crowd so I doubled the recipe and baked in three separate dishes. Didn’t have a food processor at the beach house where we’re staying so I used a blender to pulse the oats and a hand blender to incorporate the butter – turned out great and a big hit!
Anna says
I just made this recipe today and it is absolutely delicious! I used coconut sugar for all the white sugar so there was only 1/3 cup of sugar in the entire thing! Thank you for a great recipe!
