Vegan Unbaked Peach Crisp with Summer Berries

When you want a lovely and easy summer fruit dessert that’s ready in no time, this vegan unbaked peach crisp with lush berries will do the trick. This fruity dessert is particularly good with raspberries, but blueberries work just fine, too.

Nectarines work just as well as peaches, as long as they’re sweet and lush. This is a fantastic gluten-free option for dessert. Use certified GF oats if that’s a concern for you.

Serve with vegan ice cream for even more yum: A dollop of vegan ice cream is highly recommended! It’s great with basic vanilla. Butter pecan, mango, or one of the coconut-based varieties are great, too, if you want to go a step up in flavor.

Use the best peaches or nectarines possible: Local peach & nectarine season in most places is fleeting. If you can get them ripe (but not overripe) and lush, rather than having to buy them firm and then ripening them on the countertop (where they often turn into mush), that is ideal.

Ingredients for Unbaked Peach Crisp

• Peaches or nectarines (6 to 8 medium ripe, juicy)
• Raspberries and/or blueberries (about 1 cup total)
• Quick-cooking oats (oatmeal)
• Walnuts or pecans
• Natural granulated sugar
• Cinnamon
• Vegan butter
• Maple syrup
• Vegan ice cream (optional, but highly recommended)

Organic peaches or nectarines are recommended

I highly recommend using organic peaches or nectarines. These fruits appear near the top of the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen™ list of produce each year.  That refers to produce grown with the most pesticide.

Both blueberries and raspberries aren’t in always the Dirty Dozen, but it’s best to use organic berries as well; some years they are, some years they make the Clean Fifteen™. See more info listings following the recipe.

Vegan Unbaked Peach Crisp with Summer Berries

Print

When you want a lovely and easy summer fruit dessert without the fuss, or baking this vegan unbaked peach crumble with lush berries will do the trick.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup quick-cooking oats (oatmeal)
• 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons natural granulated sugar
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 2 tablespoon vegan butter, divided
• 6 to 8 medium ripe, juicy peaches or nectarines
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 cup raspberries or blueberries, or half of each
• Vegan ice cream (vanilla, butter pecan, etc.) for topping, optional

Instructions

1. Combine the ingredients for the crumble topping in a small bowl. 
2. Heat the vegan butter in a medium skillet. Add the crumble topping. Stir quickly to coat with the vegan butter and toast the mixture over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer back to the bowl and set aside.
3. Cut each peach in half lengthwise. Twist gently to separate the halves, then remove the pit. Cut into thin slices.
4. Heat the remaining vegan butter in the same skillet. Add the peaches and syrup. Sauté, stirring frequently, until they’ve softened but still hold their shape, about 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Transfer the peaches to a shallow serving container and scatter the berries over them, followed by the crumble topping.
6. Cover and refrigerate until needed or serve at once —it’s good served warm, room temperature, or chilled. Top each serving with a scoop of vegan ice cream, if you’d like.
