If there is one thing I love to do, it’s stock my freezer with freezer meals {or freezer desserts in this case}. The school year is a really busy time for us and knowing I have several desserts tucked into the freezer for sports banquets, last minute entertaining and the weekends makes my life a lot easier.
By preparing several {okay 10!} of these peach crisp desserts in advance, all I have to do is pull them out of the freezer and pop them in the oven when I’m ready to use them.
Now that’s what I call planning ahead.
This peach crisp recipe is quick and easy to make and has been loved by many over the years.
I hope you like it as much as we do. 🙂

PrintEasy Freezer Meals – Peach Crisp Recipe
Ingredients
Ingredients for Filling:
6 cups fresh or frozen peaches {How to peel peaches quickly}
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all- purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped into bits
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Fruit Fresh to prevent browning {optional}
Ingredients for the topping
2 cups old fashioned oats {I used quick oats}
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Slice peaches, sprinkle a little Fruit Fresh on top and mix together all the ingredients for the peach filling together in a large bowl. Place peach mixture into a buttered baking pan and set aside.
Place the ingredients for the oatmeal topping in bowl and using a fork, work the ingredients together for a minute or two until they are nice and crumbly. Sprinkle over peach filling, cover with foil {or a lid} and freeze.
When you are ready to use, bake from frozen at 350° F for about 45 minutes, remove foil and cook an additional 10 – 20 minutes or until the juices are bubbling.
Serve warm with ice cream. This recipe is for {1} 13×9-inch pan.

Looks yummy!
I love freezer cooking but my big downfall is remembering to thaw them in time to cook them. This recipe is perfect for me because I can cook it right out of the freezer.
Do you have any tips for remembering to thaw foods or do you cook all your freezer foods from a frozen state?
Mavis Butterfield says
I cook from a frozen state. My theory is, if I were to buy a peach crisp from the frozen foods section, that’s what the instructions would say. 🙂
Andrea says
Where do you find the containers and what would you say is a good price for them?
Mavis Butterfield says
Texas Basket company. You can also find them on ebay as well.
Libby says
Dollar Tree has them
Pam says
I love these! But where are you finding the containers with lids?
Heidi P says
I was wondering the same thing. I picked some up yesterday at Dollar Tree but they don’t have lids. I figure I will need to create my own.
Shereen Travels Cheap says
I have a plum tree. I wonder if this would work as well with them. Anyone tried that yet? 🙂
Heather S says
Working on these this afternoon with the kids! I’ve used a lot of your recipes and little tactics this year and have loved everything so far! Thnx!
Lynn Besett says
I made 14 large peach crisps for my grand-daughters wedding. How do I defrost without losing the crunch as won’t be able to warm up day of wedding.
Mary Beth says
My dad lives in FL and I’m headed down for a visit next month to do some freezer cooking for him. I would love to make some smaller sized ones for him (lives alone, but has an insatiable sweet tooth!). Anybody have any clues on if/how the cooking time would need to be adjusted for a two-serving sized package?
Shermie Schafer says
I would just bake until I see the juices bubbling to the top.
Mandy says
Would this work with apples?
Mavis Butterfield says
I haven’t tried it with apples yet but I don’t see why not.
kristy says
I buy the pans and lids at Sam’s Club
Shermie Schafer says
I’ve found foil 8″ or 9″ pans at Target; try googling.
I like ANY fruit in Crisp! We watch our sugar intake and many desserts are too sweet for us. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, adjust to your taste. Rhubarb Crisp is different, obviously.
Ann says
Could you do this with mixed berries? If you use frozen fruit, do you defrost first?
Mavis Butterfield says
Yes! And no, I don’t think I would defrost frozen fruit first.
Shermie Schafer says
RE: flour in recipe. I prefer using cornstarch. Try both and choose your preference.
Elizabeth says
If making this fresh…..how long and what temp would u cook this?
Mavis Butterfield says
350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes {or until bubbly}.
phebe says
What temp from frozen and how long please
Sue says
I made this in a small foil pan and it was good, but the timing for baking from frozen is wrong – it took about 1.5 hours to get to bubbly. I see that in a comment above Mavis gives the same bake time and temp instructions for thawed as for frozen, which can’t work. Nice recipe that I’ll make again.
Tammy Bienker says
Can you cook this right away without freezing.If so what is the cooking time please.
Mavis Butterfield says
Yes. I would check it at the 25 minute mark.
Taylor says
Does this recipe make one pan?
Mavis Butterfield says
This recipe is for {1} 13×9-inch pan.
