Canned Peach Crisp Ingredients
Canned Peaches: 45 ounces, drained. The star of the show, canned peaches, makes this recipe accessible anytime.
All-Purpose flour: I like to use King Arthur organic flour when I bake.
Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats: Adds texture and heartiness to the crisp topping.
White Sugar: The only sugar I use to sweeten up the topping.
Cold Cubed Butter is the ingredient that gives it all the flavor. Because what’s a crisp without some buttery goodness?
Ground Cinnamon: Adds a subtle spice; you can also use nutmeg, cardamom, or a little of all!
Salt: Use a flakey sea salt for this. It adds balance to the sweetness.
How to Make An Easy Peach Crisp
- Preheat the oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the peaches – Drain the syrup in the canned peaches and layer the slices evenly in a 9×13-inch (or similar) baking dish.
- Make the topping – In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Assemble the crisp – Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
- Bake – Place in the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the topping is light golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Serve – Let it cool slightly, then serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Eden’s Recipe Tips
Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is cold to achieve that perfect crumbly texture in the topping.
Peach Layering: Be bold and layer those peaches thickly. As they cook, they’ll reduce down.
Make-Ahead: Prepare ahead of time and kept in the fridge until ready to bake. Just let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking, as cold ingredients may affect the baking time and texture.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour to make this dessert accessible to everyone.
Cover with foil halfway through baking if the topping browns too quickly
Serving Suggestion
Everyone pairs peach crisp with vanilla ice cream, but I’ll be honest — fruity ice cream tastes even better! Try it with strawberry, lemon, raspberry, or blackberry ice cream for a fun twist. Of course, classic vanilla is always a cozy choice too.
Easy Canned Peach Crisp FAQ’s
A peach crisp has a crunchy oat topping made with flour, butter, and sugar. A peach cobbler uses a batter or biscuit dough topping that bakes into a soft, cake-like layer.
Make sure you bake long enough for the topping to crisp. If it’s still soggy, increase the oven temp slightly or bake a few extra minutes.
Yes, you can use fresh peaches for this recipe. Just peel and slice them before layering them in the baking dish.
Yes! You can absolutely make a peach crumble with canned peaches — in fact, they work beautifully because they’re already peeled, sliced, and perfectly sweet. The main difference between a peach crisp and a peach crumble is in the topping:
Peach Crisp – usually made with oats mixed into the buttery topping, which bakes up extra crunchy.
Peach Crumble – typically skips the oats and uses just flour, sugar, butter, and sometimes spices, for a softer, more cake-like crumb topping.
