Instant Pot Peach Crisp is a perfect summertime fruit dessert recipe made with fresh, juicy peaches, and topped with crisp, crunchy oatmeal streusel. Serve with vanilla ice cream and dulce de leche to take it to the next level. If you’re a peach cobbler fan, you’ll love this Instant Pot dessert.
I lived in Peachtree City, Georgia for over 12 years and I loved peach season, which began around early June. Next to mangoes, peaches are my favorite fruit.
Peach cobbler and peach crisp are both desserts you can make with your peach harvest. A peach cobbler recipe is baked with a baking mix (like Bisquick) topping, and a peach crisp recipe is usually baked with an oatmeal streusel type topping.
Tips and Substitutions
To really take this Instant Pot Peach Crisp to the next level, serve it topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with Instant Pot Dulce de Leche.
If you’ve never made dulce de leche in the Instant Pot, check out this recipe from Pressure Cooking Today. It just might be the easiest thing you ever make in the Instant Pot! It has one ingredient: condensed milk.
I made it exactly as written except that I increased the cooking time by 5 minutes.
With my Instant Pot recipes, I try to avoid having steps where I use the stovetop, but in this case, I cooked the topping in a non-stick frying pan. I think you could easily cook the topping in the Instant Pot in the ‘Saute’ mode.
Store the peach crisp topping in a glass jar in a cool, dry place and use on yogurt, ice cream, or unsweetened cereal.

Margaret H
This turned out perfectly. And the extra topping is dessert all by itself. Delicious. Thanks!
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Margaret, I just made this the other day after a long time – like over a year. Made me realize I need to make it more often! Yes, the topping is so good – I add it to cereal sometimes 🙂
Andrea
Great topping, 4 minutes for my frozen peaches was to long. Still good
Paint the Kitchen Red
Andrea, I could see that. Maybe 2 minutes tops?
Faye
Can you make this with canned peaches instead of fresh peaches?
Paint the Kitchen Red
Faye, although I’ve never used canned peaches for this recipe, I think you should be able to substitute them. I think you might need to reduce the sugar and the pressure cooking time.
Carol
Awesome recipe! I screwed up and mixed the cornstarch in with the other ingredients and just went with it. Still Turned out great. Thanks. This one is a keeper
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Carol – Great recipe for any fruit really… Glad it worked for you despite the mistake 🙂
Heather
This was a big hit. So yummy. I made it with peaches and cherries. This recipe makes a ton of topping, could be halved. I’ll definitely peel the peaches next time, but it didn’t really matter. Fruit crisp without turning on the oven. Can’t beat that.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Heather – I’m so glad you liked the recipe. You know, I love adding that topping to yogurt or ice cream 🙂
Su
Can you use instant oats or just old fashioned?
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Su, sorry I initially answered your question thinking you’re asking about shrimp and grits lol! Yes, the instant oats would be just fine! Thanks for your question!
Kate
Hello, I will make this today. Should I peal the peaches?
Thank you.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Kate, I did not peel the peaches and they were great. Easy peasy 🙂 Good luck and do check back in to let us know how you like it!

Hi Dennis, great to hear from you! I’m glad you got to make it. Did you eat it with ice cream ? ? Thanks so much for commenting – I really appreciate it!
Eva
Love your peach crisp. I’m in Utah too! Best time of year for this. My peaches were really sweet, so I reduced the amount of sugar.
Paint the Kitchen Red
Hi Eva – small world! Thanks for sharing how you modified the recipe. That’s a great idea to reduce the sugar if you don’t need it. The peaches I used may not have been as ripe as yours.
