Microwave Peach Crisp
A quick and comforting microwave peach crisp featuring tender fruit topped with a buttery, cinnamon-spiced crumbly topping, perfect for satisfying dessert cravings with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange peaches in an 8 x 8 x 2-inch microwave dish.
- Mix Bisquick, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, quick oats, and soft butter until crumbly; sprinkle over peaches.
- Microwave uncovered on High for 6 minutes; rotate dish 1/2 turn.
- Microwave until peaches are tender, an additional 4 to 6 minutes.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of nuts to the topping mixture. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can use all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a bit of salt as a substitute. Using canned peaches is a great time-saver, but fresh peaches will add more natural sweetness and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach crisp warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Easy And Hot Peas for a complete meal. You can also enjoy it as a breakfast treat or snack on its own, or alongside a cup of coffee.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the peach crisp in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until heated through. You can also bake it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes for a crispier topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used; just ensure they are thawed and drained before using. They may release more moisture, so you might want to add a bit more oats to absorb the excess liquid.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this peach crisp gluten-free, substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or use almond flour mixed with baking powder. Always check labels to ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the topping. A sprinkle of lemon juice over the peaches before adding the topping can also brighten the dish.
