How Ripe Should the Peaches Be For This Peach Crisp?
The peaches should be pretty ripe. This recipe is made without sugar, so you really want the peaches to be sweet and juicy for the peach crisp to taste good.
If the peaches are still hard, they shouldn’t be used for this recipe.
Should You Peel the Peaches for This Recipe?
You don’t have to peel the peaches to make this peach crisp. Peach skins contain a lot of fiber, so it is better to leave them on.
But some people find peach skins to be tough, so you can also remove the skin if you don’t like it.
How to Peel Peaches
If peaches are overripe, sometimes the skin comes off very easily by itself. If not, here is how you can peel peaches:
- Fill a large bowl with cold water and add about one or two cups of ice cubes.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
- Using a slotted spoon, place the peaches into the boiling water for about 30 seconds.
- Carefully remove the peaches from the boiling water and place them into the ice water bath.
- Remove each peach from the ice water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Peel with a paring knife by pulling the skin off.
Can Nectarines be Used Instead of Peaches?
You can use either peaches or nectarines for this recipe. You can also mix them.
Oat Topping Ingredients
Here is what you will need to make the oat topping:
- rolled oats
- almond meal or almond flour
- coconut oil
- maple syrup
- cinnamon
- salt
Can the Oat Topping be Used for Other Recipes?
Absolutely! For example, you can use it to make this Healthy Apple Crisp or this Pear Cranberry Crisp.

Instructions
