Today, August 24th is National Peach Pie Day. I hope you are celebrating! Peaches are bountiful right now. We went to a local farmstand this weekend and they had a great money saving special. Two big bags of peaches for only $7! No, these were not the most beautiful peaches, but they were perfect to cut up and put in this peach crisp. The end of the summer is the perfect time to visit your local farmstand and find a great deal on some peaches. This recipe is adapted from a recipe I used to make that had two sticks of butter and a cup of sugar in it. This crisp has been made over to be a healthier Peach Crisp. Surprisingly, my kids who typically hate desserts with nuts in them, ate up both Peach Crisps I made in one day. This peach crisp recipe is vegan, gluten free(if you use gluten free oats), vegetarian, low in sugar, and quite delicious.
Ingredients
- Peach filling:
- 2 lbs of fresh peaches cut into chunks
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 T vanilla paste
- 1 T cinnamon
- Crumble topping:
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cups oats
- 1T maple syrup
- 1T coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350. In a large pan, heat your peaches, vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup. Stir often and your syrup will start boiling and your peaches will become soft. Mine took about 15 minutes. Let the peaches cool as you assemble the crumble topping. Your peaches can cool right in your baking dish. I used two round serving dishes.
- Place all your crumble ingredients into your food processor. Pulse it until a crumble is formed.
- Sprinkle your crumble evenly over your peach filling.
- Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Check it at 10 minutes, you do not want your crumble to burn.
- Serve warm with a little bit of ice cream on top.

That looks delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Yum!! Where can I buy vanilla paste?
HI Kim,
The vanilla bean paste I use is here: http://www.amazon.com/Nielsen-Massey-Vanillas-Madagascar-Bourbon-Vanilla/dp/B0000W0GQQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440456968&sr=8-1&keywords=Nielsen-Massey+Vanillas+Madagascar+Bourbon+Vanilla+Bean+Paste
It really elevates the flavor in all your baking!

This would be divine with some vanilla ice cream. Yummy! Thanks for sharing.
Looks amazing! I can’t wait to try!
Oh my gracious this sounds amazing. Two scoops for me please!
Ok, I don’t enjoy cooking ( I CAN cook, I just don’t enjoy it) but I do enjoy consuming the final result and that sounds divine. I may have to try that one. Yuuuuum
Yum!
This would not last long at my house! I just love peaches and really don’t need much convincing to eat them all summer long. The maple syrup sounds amazing!
When you combine peaches and maple syrup, you really cannot go wrong!
This looks amazing! I love peaches … and fruit desserts!
Great recipe! Peach anything is my husband’s favorite dessert. To be truly gluten-free, be sure to buy certified gluten-free oatmeal. Most grocery store oatmeal brands have cross contamination with wheat. Thanks!
Yes! GF oats should be purchased if making this truly gluten free. Thank you for the clarification!
WHOAaaaa, this looks Gooood, and I definitely appreciate the low sugar. Sorry I missed this on the official day, but oh well, I will have to pretend. Peach pie hasn’t even been on my mind, but now it sure is. What a perfect summer treat! Thanks for sharing. ; )
YAY a yummy, decant crisp with no refined sugar!!!!!!! I love this. Making when I stock up on more peaches!!
I missed this yesterday but I’m going to try to make it this weekend! And it’s healthy! YAY! Thanks!
It’s never too late to try it! Even in the winter you could use frozen peaches! I hope you love it as much as we do.

Every day should be peach pie day! I love peaches in pies, tarts and well.. just about anyway! Crisps are a simple way to use fresh fruits and are so pretty too.
I wish every day was peach pie day too! Too bad peaches have a short season.
Great post
MMMM nothing like a peach crisp on an August evening! Looks amazing 🙂
Now I want a peach crisp too, I miss those delicious summer fruits (and the warm weather!)
