There’s nothing quite like the comforting sweetness of a warm fruit crisp, and this gluten-free and vegan peach crisp is an absolute showstopper. It’s incredibly easy to make, perfect for showcasing those beautiful summer peaches, and satisfies that craving for a sweet treat without any of the dairy or gluten.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large ripe peaches (pitted and sliced)
  • 2 Tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (softened or melted)

    • Instructions:

    Preparing the Peach Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your crisp bakes evenly and the topping gets wonderfully golden and crisp. While the oven is preheating, lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe skillet. This prevents sticking and makes for easier serving later on.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of gluten-free all-purpose flour. The flour acts as a thickener, helping to create a luscious, slightly syrupy consistency as the peaches bake. Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the bowl. The lemon juice not only adds a bright, zesty flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the peaches but also helps prevent them from browning. Stir in the pure vanilla extract for that classic, comforting aroma and taste. Drizzle in 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, adding a touch of sweetness that enhances the natural flavor of the peaches without overpowering them. Finally, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of ground nutmeg (if you’re using it – it adds a lovely depth of flavor), and a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness. Toss everything together gently, ensuring each peach slice is coated with the delicious mixture. Pour this peach mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.

    • Crafting the Crisp Topping

  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of gluten-free rolled oats. The oats add a delightful texture and chegrape juicess to the crisp topping, making it more interesting than a simple flour-based topping. Whisk in 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, providing a subtle sweetness and helping the topping bind together. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. The cinnamon adds warmth and spice, while the salt is crucial for enhancing all the flavors and preventing the topping from tasting one-dimensionally sweet.
  • Add the softened or melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using softened or melted coconut oil makes it easy to incorporate into the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, work the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crum extractbs. You want some larger clumps for a truly rustic and satisfying crisp texture. Don’t overmix; the goal is to create a crum extractbly, delicious topping.

    • Baking Your Peach Crisp

  • Evenly sprinkle the prepared crisp topping over the peach filling in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the peaches for a perfect crunchy crust.
  • Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (this will catch any bubbling fruit and make clean-up a breeze). Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the peach filling is bubbly and tender. You should be able to easily pierce a peach slice with a fork to check for doneness. If the topping starts to brown too quickly before the peaches are tender, you can loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Once baked to perfection, remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to scoop and preventing you from burning your tongue on molten-hot fruit! Serve warm, either on its own or with your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream. Enjoy this delightful gluten-free and vegan treat!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I use other fruits in this crisp?

    Absolutely! While peaches are wonderful, this recipe is versatile. You can easily substitute them with other stone fruits like nectarines or plums, or try berries like blueberries, raspberries, or a mix. Apples or pears would also work beautifully, though you might adjust the baking time slightly.

    What if I don’t have almond flour?

    If you have a nut allergy or simply don’t have almond flour, you can substitute it with an equal amount of oat flour (ensure it’s certified gluten-free if needed) or even a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. The texture might be slightly different, but it will still be delicious!
