Gluten Free Peach Crisp Recipe

One of my favorite things about crisps is that they are super simple to make. Prep the filling, prep the crisp topping, and then bake. You can enjoy this gluten free peach crisp plain or top it with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.

You can make this gluten free peach crisp with fresh or frozen peaches. If you use fresh peaches, make sure to remove the skin before you slice your peaches. If you use frozen peaches, I recommend you thaw them and remove any excess liquid before you prepare the peach filling.

How to make gluten free peach crisp

1. For the peach filling: Add the peaches, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla extract to your prepared pan. Stir until combined.
2. For the crisp topping: Add the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg to a medium mixing blow.
3. Stir until combined.
4. Add butter pieces.
5. With a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the peach filling and bake as directed.

Substitutions for peach crisp

• You can use frozen or fresh peaches.
• You can use arrowroot starch in place of the cornstarch.
• If you don't have vanilla extract, you can leave it out or use almond extract.
• For a dairy-free option, use diary-free butter.
• Can't have oats? No problem. Use chopped nuts. The texture and flavors will be slightly different, but you should still get a nice crunch. slivered almonds and chopped pecans work well in this gluten free peach crisp recipe.

How to peel fresh peaches:

Place 2-3 peaches at a time into a pot of boiling water. Blanch them in the water for 20-30 seconds and then remove them to an ice-water bath. The ice water bath will keep the peach flesh from cooking. The skin should peel right off.

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, you can used canned peaches to make this gluten free peach crisp. Drain the canned peaches before adding them to the pan with the cornstarch and vanilla. Also note that the filling will be softer since the peaches were cooked and processed before canning.

If you want to prevent the canned peaches from turning too soft during baking, consider placing the prepared peach crisp under the broiler to crisp the topping versus baking it.
