Peach Almond Crisp with Gingersnaps

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

Peach almond crisp with gingersnaps is a gluten-free dessert that is perfect for summer!

Peach cobblers are comfort food in my home. My Granny taught my mom when she was girl how to make her famous peach cobbler, then my Granny taught me and my sister how to make them as well. My mom, of course, let us make the cobblers when ever we wanted while we were growing up. I think it was my sister’s favorite dessert because I remember her making them so much over the years that we had the recipe memorized!
Peach Almond Crisp with Gingersnaps {plus it's Gluten Free and Vegan}As I’ve gotten old, my tastes have changed and so has my cooking. I’ve really started to enjoy the simplicity of a good fruit crisp, but I still have such fond memories of peach cobblers that I decided to combine my two loves into this one awesome Peach Almond Crisp with Gingersnaps. Plus it just so happens to be gluten free and vegan.

I found the most delicious gluten free gingersnap cookies at Trader Joes over the summer and have been dying to use them up. Adding them the crisp really gave it a nice change and interesting flavor.

Typically the only dairy in the crisp is the butter, so I just swapped out with a soy based “butter” and it worked beautifully! I also used Libby’s canned peaches which made the crisp come together in no time at all.

Isn’t it beautiful? Peach almond crisp tastes even better than it looks. Add a scoop of almond ice cream to keep with the almond flavor (and it keeps the dessert dairy free too).

Peach Almond Crisp with Gingersnaps

Yield: 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
This peach almond crisp recipe uses canned peaches. Feel free to use fresh peaches if you prefer them.

Ingredients

  • 3 (15 1/4 ounce) cans Libby's peach slices, drained
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 c sweet rice flour (or your favorite gf flour blend)
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 3/4 cup finely crushed gingersnap cookies {gluten free}
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup "butter" (1 stick), thinly sliced (such as Earth Balance baking sticks)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Drain peaches and place in a large mixing bowl. Add almond extract. Mix in the rice flour and 1/2 cup sugar until peaches are evenly coated. Pour into prepared pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine oats, crushed cookies, and sugar. Pour oat mixture over the top of peaches, making sure to completely cover all the peaches. The better everything is covered, the less likely it will bubble over.
  4. Place slices of butter all over the top of the oat mixture. Bake for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
  5. Cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

    I’ve never thought about using gingersnaps in that way. Awesome. Now I think I want a gingersnap apple pie.

    Would love to try the peach crisp recipe! I have a very similar recipe that uses cherry pie filling and pineapple, instead of peaches.

    By the way, I accidentally submitted the “bonus entry”, but I shouldn’t have received it because I’m not on all those other social networks. If you could adjust my entries, please. 🙂

    I love Apple Crisp but never made it with extract. Though I have not made a crisp dessert in awhile, I do remember that I used some of the fruit juice. I may just try your recipe because I love the taste of almonds.

    I like the fact that you used rice flout-I am sure it gives a bit of a different texture. I have only used it to coat fried items…thanks for the great and very timely giveaway!

    Finally a recipe that uses gluten free ginger snaps! Not graham crackers!! I have to eat gluten free also, and I usually shy away from baking because gluten free can be such a headache. That recipe doesn’t seem like a headache at all! Glad to see it’s just 1 kind of flour (that I actually have on hand), and not 5 different flours!

    The recipe for the Peach Almond Crisp with Gingersnaps looks like a great fall dessert. Using the cans of Libby’s peach slices would make it a quick to make dessert which is so handy this time of year.

    I have made peach cobbler for years but would never have thought to use ginger snaps and almond extract. It sounds and looks delicious and I will definitely be trying this the next time that I make cobbler.

    The recipe sounds delicious but none of us eat gluten or dairy free so I’m going to make it with regular ingredients. I can’t wait to try it.

      Hi Lorena! You’d use only a couple tablespoons of traditional flour mixed with the peaches and then equal amounts of regular gingersnaps and regular butter. It should work just fine. 🙂

    Peach is my favorite for crisps. I like your gf and non-dairy tweaks, but I’d probably go ahead with butter.
