One of my favourite ways to use up a bunch of fresh local fruit is a crumble or a crisp! They’re super easy to make and come together with very few ingredients. Perfect for an easy breakfast treat or a dessert for your next dinner party. This Easy Peach Crisp is the perfect summer treat.
The peach filling is simple but delicious; just fresh, local peaches sliced and tossed with cinnamon and ginger (plus a couple other ingredients). Then topped with a golden oat crisp topping made with just 7 ingredients.

Top tips for making an Easy Peach Crisp:
Cut fruit in even pieces. Slices or cubes? It doesn’t matter as long as the pieces are an even size to ensure and even bake.
Use fresh fruit when possible. This recipe was developed with fresh fruit so we recommend for the best results to use fresh. It can be made with frozen fruit, though we’d recommend increasing the amount of cornstarch in the filling if so.
Bake until golden brown on top. Crisps are hard to over-bake, you’re looking for a nice golden brown colour on top and a bubbling filling.
Let cool slightly. This can be eaten warm or cooled. We like to have it warm for dessert and cooled for breakfast the next day.
