Is anything better than delicious Old-Fashioned Peach Crisp? Make individual sized desserts with fresh peaches, and top it with a streusel crust!
I love fresh juicy peaches in the Summer… right off the tree, and ready to eat just the way they are (with juice running down your arms), OR to be transformed into other delicious dishes… like this Old-Fashioned Peach Crisp, for example!
Old fashioned peach crisps have rolled oats in the crumbly topping. This topping makes them a bit different from a cobbler, which typically have a biscuit-type topping. The oats crisp up as the dish bakes, making a nice streusel topping for that delicious fresh fruit!

We LOVE Fresh Peaches!
I pick peaches every summer at a local U-Pick farm about 15 minutes from our home. Once I get home with my 25-30 pounds of fresh peaches, the race against the clock begins! I have a few days to do LOTS of things with these beauties.
These activities include canning them for long term storage, making peach jam, peach pies, peach ice cream, and this Old-Fashioned Peach Crisp! It often seems like a PEACH FACTORY in our kitchen! It’s a wonder I don’t turn into a peach!
It’s really easy to make individual sized peach crisps for a scrumptious, classic dessert. Here’s how I make Old-Fashioned Peach Crisp!
How To Make Old Fashioned Peach Crisp
Please note that I made 6 individual sized servings, but the recipe works just as well if you make it in a large 13×9 baking dish, too (with a bit longer cooking time)! First, peel and thinly slice all those beautiful fresh, juicy peaches. Try hard not to eat them all… this is important!
Light coat the bottom of baking dish (or dishes) with non-stick spray. Evenly divide the fresh sliced peaches between serving dishes (if making individual sized).
Make The Streusel Topping
In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients, then cut in COLD butter, using a pastry blender, until mixture is about the size of peas.
Spoon the crumb topping over each dish to cover (or over the entire surface if using a single baking dish).
Bake The Old-Fashioned Peach Crisp
Place the old fashioned peach crisp dish(es) into 375 degree preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes (slightly longer time if making a single 13×9 dish). When done, the crumb topping will be browned and edges will be bubbly (from all those delicious peach juices).
TIP: I find it helpful to place a large sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below the dishes before cooking, to catch any juices that try to escape (less mess if juice bubbles out and over the edge of individual dishes).
When done, remove the old fashioned peach crisp dish(es) to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.
See that gorgeous peach goodness on the bottom of the dish? Oh yum. The streusel forms a nice crust on the peach crisp, and the butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar flavor the fruit wonderfully!
Ready To Serve
All that’s left to do to make these ABSOLUTELY PERFECT is to serve them warm, with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy this absolutely PERFECT taste of SUMMER!
Hope you will consider making this delicious old-fashioned peach crisp while peaches are in season! You just can’t beat the classic flavor! Grab a spoon, put on some stretchy pants, plop down on the couch, and enjoy this treat. You can start your diet tomorrow… ha ha! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by.

This summer I froze sliced peaches. Would I need to thaw them before putting them in the casserole dish? I’m thinking if I put them in frozen, it might be too watery. Have you ever tried it?
Hi, Beverly… I have not used frozen peaches for this recipe, but if I were going to, I would definitely thaw them first, and drain off any accumulated juices, for the very reason you stated. Good for you for freezing peaches. I was not able to do that this summer, so will be missing those yummy peaches throughout the coming winter! Have a great day.
