It’s the most wonderful time of year.
The time of year when fruit crisps, crumbles, cobblers, and pies are a plenty! Crisps and cobblers are a great way to enjoy seasonal fruit any time of year, but few things in life are better than a summer peach.
This crisp has the most delicious topping (gluten-free or not!) I’ve ever had on a fruit crisp. A mixture of toasty oats
and almonds, brown sugar, and butter make for a light, golden and perfectly sweet topping. This topping over warm, spiced peaches and a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream (coconut milk ice cream for me) is as good as summer dessert can get.
Truth be told I can’t be trusted around fruit crisps. I made this peach crisp for a get-together with some friends this week and there was just a small corner left after everyone had some. Everyone loved it and the rest was eaten (by me), before the dishes were done.

Gluten-Free Peach Crisp
Ingredients
For the Topping:
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup gluten-free, all-purpose flour (any blend will work here)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons water
- .125 tsp of salt
- 8 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
For the Filling:
- 4 pounds peaches, peeled, halved, pitted and cute into 1/2 inch wedges
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder, or cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- For the topping, Pulse 2/3 cup of the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, water, and salt in a food processor until combined, about 6-8 pulses. Sprinkle the butter and half of the almonds over top and process until the butter is the size of peas and the mixture is crumbly, about 5 pulses. Add the remaining almonds and 1/3 oats and combine with 2 quick pulses.
- For the filling, mix all the ingredients together. Pour into a 9x13 casserole dish or baking dish of choice. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with ice cream, whipped, cream, or coconut milk whipped cream!

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!
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!
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!
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!!!
I hope you liked it! Good luck starting a gluten-free diet! Let me know if I can help with any questions!
This is a delicious dessert, and quite simple to prepare. Thank you!!
This is a fall favorite treat. Whenever we see peaches on sale we LOVE making this dessert.
