10-Minute Peach Crisp That Steals Every Summer Gathering

There’s nothing quite like biting into a juicy, sun-ripened peach in the middle of summer—except maybe turning those peaches into a warm, golden peach crisp in under 10 minutes! I first fell in love with this dessert years ago during lazy Sunday gatherings at my aunt’s farmhouse, where we’d pick peaches straight from the tree and toss them into a skillet with whatever oats and nuts were handy. Now, I whip up this gluten-free version in my air fryer when friends stop by unexpectedly (which happens a lot in summer!). The magic? That crunchy oat-nut crumble hugging sweet peaches—simple, fast, and oh-so-summery.

Ingredients for Peach Crisp

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this simple summer dessert:

• 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced – about 4 medium ones (keep skins on for color)
• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats – gives that perfect crunch
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts – I always use pecans at home
• 1/4 cup maple syrup – honey works too
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil – or regular butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon – can’t skip this!
• Pinch of salt – balances the sweetness

Need swaps? Try sunflower seeds instead of nuts, or quick oats in a pinch.

How to Make Peach Crisp in 10 Minutes

Okay, friends—this is where the magic happens! Making peach crisp couldn’t be easier, and I promise, even if you’re juggling a dozen things (summer chaos, am I right?), you’ll have dessert ready before your guests finish their first glass of lemonade. Here’s my foolproof method:

Prepping the Peaches

First up, those beautiful peaches! No need for perfection here—just slice them into about ½-inch wedges (skin on, because color and fiber, baby!). I like to toss them straight into my air fryer dish or a small ovenproof skillet—no fancy arranging needed. Pro tip: If your peaches aren’t quite ripe, sprinkle them with a pinch of sugar and let them sit while you prep the crumble.

Making the Oat-Nut Crumble

Now, for the star of the show—that addictive oat crumble peach crisp topping! Grab a bowl and mix your gluten-free oats, chopped nuts (I’m team pecan, but almonds rock too), cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil, then stir until everything’s gloriously clumpy. Too dry? Add another teaspoon of syrup. Too wet? A sprinkle more oats. This forgiving mix is your ticket to crunch-town!

Putting It All Together

Preheat that air fryer to 350°F (175°C)—trust me, starting hot prevents sad, soggy crisps! Pile your peach slices evenly in the dish, then scatter that oat-nut mixture over the top like you’re sprinkling edible confetti. No need to press it down—let those peaches breathe! Slide it into the air fryer and set your timer for 8 minutes. Peek at 8—if it’s golden and bubbling like a summer sunset, it’s done! If not, give it another minute or two. Serve steaming with ice cream melting over the top, and watch those happy summer faces light up.

Tips for the Best Peach Crisp

After turning more peaches into dessert than I can count, here’s what I’ve learned makes this treat shine:

• Those peaches better be ripe – soft with a sweet floral smell
• Give your air fryer breathing room – crowding leads to soggy middles
• Watch like a hawk after 8 minutes – golden brown means it’s done

My worst batch came from rushing—rock-hard peaches in a packed basket resulted in chewy oats and tough fruit. But when you follow these simple tricks? Absolute summer perfection in every bite!

Serving Suggestions for Peach Crisp

Now comes the best part – how to serve this golden beauty! My absolute #1 must? A big scoop of vanilla ice cream melting slowly into those warm peaches. The way the cold cream swirls with the bubbly fruit and crisp topping? Pure summer magic. For brunch gatherings, I’ll swap in Greek yogurt instead – that tartness cuts the sweetness perfectly. And if you really want to impress at your next backyard BBQ, top servings with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh mint. Trust me, watching guests scoop up every last crumb never gets old!

Storing and Reheating Peach Crisp

Listen, I know leftovers are rare with this dessert (it disappears fast at my house!), but if you miraculously have some left, here’s how to keep it glorious. For fridge storage, cover loosely with foil—it’ll keep for 2 days. Need longer? Freeze individual portions in ramekins! Just pop them straight into a 350°F air fryer for 5 minutes when cravings strike. That oat topping crisps right back up—almost like fresh. Almost.

Peach Crisp Variations

Oh, this gluten free peach crumble recipe is practically begging to be dressed up differently each time! My favorite summer game? Seeing how many variations I can create. Last week I tossed in a handful of raspberries that were about to turn – tart little jewels popping between sweet peaches. Need nut-free? Sunflower seeds add fabulous crunch instead. Coconut sugar gives a delicious caramel note when I’m feeling fancy. And if you’re feeling wild, try mixing in some cardamom with the cinnamon – it’ll make your taste buds dance!
