I’m sorry you to hear had trouble with the recipe, Katherine. I know it’s frustrating to try a new recipe and not have it turn out. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed them, so I really wish they would’ve been a hit for you too! It’s hard to say what went wrong without being in the kitchen with you.
I love this peach crisp! I especially like how it is not overly sweet as are many crisps. The tartness of the peaches is complemented by the honey, coconut oil and nutmeg with the oat topping adding crunch but not sugary sweetness. I served it warm with a dollop of Chobani vanilla greek yogurt. Delicious!!
Taste was great- I used half blueberries and half fresh peaches. I would say the topping is very tasty but i would cut the salt in half next time ( I am a salt lover but it was a little too much) Also I am not sure if by using blueberries it decreased my “juicing” or if the amount of flour was just too much. Also i would in the future likely only use 1/2 to 2/3 the amount of topping as it formed a ” crust effect” due to the thickness. I did increase the butter as it mixed so dry. The Nuts were an awesome addition. Topping with Vanilla Ice Cream a Must in my opinion as it added some moisture and well: Who doesn’t like Ice-cream or an equivalent on a warm crumble ! Thanks- loved the honey will try again with Modifications.
My boys and I had a wonderful time making and eating this. Absolutely delicious! I used coconut oil with the butter. Such a great way to get fiber in. Yummmmmm
I used four cans of Peaches (two with juice, two with heavy syrup), gently drained and diced. It was wonderful. The topping was a bit dry so I drizzled some melted butter on top once out of the oven. I probably could have left more juice with the Peaches, because I like it a bit thin. I will definitely make this again.
Delicious. I changed the flour for almond flour in both the topping and the filling. I used Agave in place of the honey. It was wonderful. Had alot of peaches so I doubled it. Topped it with whipped cream.
I’m sorry you to hear had trouble with the recipe, Melissa. I know it’s frustrating to try a new recipe and not have it turn out. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed them, so I really wish they would’ve been a hit for you too!
This recipe drove me nuts. It would be so much easier if the whole recipe was in one place without directions with pictures in between. I often have to scroll back and forth to read how much of each ingredient goes in next and when there are pictures in between, or just text that is basically unrelated, well it is beyond frustrating. Of course, if I printed the recipe, it would somewhat alleviate that problem, but it would be pages long.
As for the recipe, it was very good, peach part was perfect, but I found the topping to be a bit heavy, tasty , but more than needed. If I make this again I would use maybe half the amount of topping.
Hi Gayle, this recipe actually prints in just two pages and you can select it without images. Did you see the full recipe in the recipe card or are you talking about my more detailed instructions written in the blog post? Glad you enjoyed it!
I tried this during the summer and got addicted to it!!! What a great combination of flavours. I am so disappointed that peach season is now over. So, I am wondering; can this be made with canned peaches, perhaps after draining the syrup from them?
Hi Fran! Proceed with caution. I haven’t tried making peach crisp with canned peaches yet, but I think you could experiment in a pinch. Note that the crisp won’t be as fresh-tasting as if you use fresh or frozen and the filling will be much softer. For best results, try peaches packed in pure fruit juice (versus syrup) and drain them first. If your canned peaches are in syrup, however, I suggest reducing the honey in the filling, since they will be sweeter. If you decide to play around with canned peaches, I’d love to hear how it goes!
I used a combination of about half peaches and half blueberries in the filling. (Highly recommend using some blueberries!) I used pecans for the nuts in the topping. It was so delicious, especially for a “healthy” dessert! We didn’t use any ice cream or yogurt on it this first time, we just ate it warm out of the oven. It’s also great leftover, cold, with greek yogurt. The whole family loves it.
As usual, your recipe did not disappoint! Made this for a family get together yesterday and we all LOVED it! My peaches were quite ripe and perhaps not as firm as they should’ve been, but it still came together beautifully. I even added a handful of blueberries just for fun. Can’t wait to make this again. Thank you, Erin!
Hi Mary, it was under the gluten free section because we give recipe notes on how to make it gluten free, for those who are interested in trying it. Thanks!
I picked up a bunch of fresh peaches at the farmer’s market this weekend, and they were just begging to be made into something delicious. I made this last night for my family and they did nothing but rave about how great the flavor and the crunch was. The crisp topping adds the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch.
Holy yum! This was a delight! My boyfriend and I were talking about how it’s been awhile we’ve had peaches and we devoured it! This is so easy and comes out beautiful! I will be making this often for sure!
This was spectacular. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. I followed this exactly. Ripe peaches made this a lovely, juicy dessert. It will be a new summer favourite.
This peach crisp turned out delicious!
Here are suggested modifies that I used:
TOPPING
Use whole wheat pastry flour instead of white whole wheat flour (they are quite different)
I added 1 heaping cup chopped pecans
FILLING
I used 1/4 instead of 1/3 cup brown sugar (plus the 2 T granulated)
I used cornstarch instead of flour to thicken
Otherwise, the same.
The filling was amazing and the topping perfect (unlike some comments I read).
Thank you for this recipe!
This turned out really well for me. I am not eating any refined sugars, so I substituted some honey and maple syrup for the sugar in the topping, and it turned out really well, did not have problems with dryness like some of the other commentors.
Topping too dry for my taste-the oats wanted to stick to my mouth/throat. May try again with more oil or butter.
I’m sorry this recipe wasn’t to your tastes, Marilyn. I (and many other readers) have truly enjoyed it, so I wish you would’ve too!
So dry. I wasted beautiful peaches for this and it makes me sad.

Hi April, did you use table salt or kosher salt when making this? Glad you enjoyed the taste!
My boys and I had a wonderful time making and eating this. Absolutely delicious! I used coconut oil with the butter. Such a great way to get fiber in. Yummmmmm

So glad to hear you enjoyed it, Andrea!
just fyi … this recipe was under ‘gluten free’ but uses whole wheat flour or all purpose flour – neither of these two flours are good for GF diets.
