Crisps and Cobblers
When peaches start to appear at the farmer’s market in early summer, I have only one thing on my mind: peach crisp.
Crisps and cobblers of all kinds are so easy to make and ideal for summer. Fresh fruit baked with a crunchy crisp mixture and topped with cold ice cream is absolute heaven on a warm evening!
Today’s peach recipe came together easily, using fresh peaches from my local farmer’s market.
The peaches were so ripe, the skin peeled off in one piece. They were so juicy, I made sure to set aside a few for snacking!
The rest were destined to end up tossed with sugar and other delicious ingredients to become peach cobbler crisp.

Ingredient Notes
In addition to the vanilla extract, I tossed in some almond extract as well. I love almond extract, and I love the nutty flavor it gave this dessert.
All the ingredients I used to make the peach crisp:
{Ingredients at a glance; scroll down for recipe with amounts!}
- Peaches – fresh peaches work best, if using frozen, thaw and drain liquid off first!
- Baking mix –Bisquick
- Butter – I use unsalted butter
- Sliced almonds
- Vanilla extract
- Almond extract
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Salt
Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1. Make the peach filling
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of baking mix, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, almond extract, nutmeg, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until combined. Fold in fresh peaches, gently.
Spread evenly in a shallow 2 quart baking dish. Set aside.
STEP 2. Make the crumb
In a large bowl, combine the remaining baking mix with 2/3 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and all the almonds. Mix gently.
Slice the butter into cubes and add to the bowl. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter (or two knives) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you’re struggling to get it to “crumb” try using your fingers! Sprinkle over peach mixture.
STEP 3. Bake!
Bake for 40 – 45 minutes until bubbly. Scoop into bowls or onto plates. Serve warm!
Of course, a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or homemade whipped cream on top of each serving is a necessity in my book! Especially when you wait a few minutes and allow the hot peach crisp to melt the ice cream partially.
The creaminess of the ice cream with the spices and fresh peaches… the contrast between the warm fruit and the cold ice cream . . . and the crunchy topping. . . OH MY GOSH!
There’s nothing about this peach crisp recipe I didn’t absolutely adore. My kids and husband agreed and it made the perfect finishing dish to our Saturday night meal.

It’s easy to make this a gluten free recipe, read the labels and choose a gluten free baking mix.
Check the packaging on your almonds and other ingredients to make sure they weren’t processed with ingredients containing gluten.
Whether or not you eat gluten free, it’s always helpful to have a few gluten free recipes up your sleeve!
With so many people avoiding gluten due to severe allergies or other reasons, I love knowing that I can still serve a delicious dessert everyone can enjoy!

With the juicy flavor of ripe summer peaches and the nutty taste of almonds, this is my new favorite peach cobbler recipe by far!
Recipe FAQs
A cobbler usually has a more biscuit or pie crust topping, and a crisp has a crunchy layer of nuts, oats, and sugar.
Yes. After baking, wrap tightly (using foil baking pan or transferring to freezer safe container) and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes before serving.
Absolutely. This is delicious with or without the sliced almonds. You could swap the almonds for pecans if you prefer!

Can I use butter in this recipe? I usually don’t buy margarine. I collect Peach recipes as I have peach trees in the back yard!
Butter works just fine 🙂
Yum, looks delicious! Peaches are long gone from my supermarket though – I’m from Switzerland and while it might not be snowing yet it is certainly cold and rainy fall weather!
Thanks for stopping by from Switzerland 🙂 I’ve always wanted to visit!!
Not a whole lot beats hot crisps and cobblers during the fall season.. this peach crisp is no exception! I want a HUGE hot bowl of it with a big ol’ mound of melty ice cream on top. That constitutes a dinner, right?
I’m trying to stay warm in southern Wisconsin, and even though peaches should be the farthest thing from my mind, you have NO idea how badly I’m craving a big bowl of this gorgeous peach crisp. With a double-scoop of that awesome-lookin’ ice cream! 🙂
Roll Call! I’m in Northern California, and it still feels like the tail end of summer here. Sunny, 90°+, but at least the mornings are getting nippy and feeling a little like fall! So… Ice cream and a peach crisp sounds perfect! 🙂 Pinned!
