Say hello to summer with my Gluten-Free Maple Sesame Peach Crisp recipe. This easy summer dessert uses one bowl and ripe summer peaches to make a crowd-pleasing sweet treat in under one hour. I have some secret ingredients like tahini, maple syrup, and sesame seeds that keep this crumble gluten-free and refined sugar-free but still restaurant quality.

I’m head over heels for one specific fruit in the summer, and that’s peaches. There’s nothing like a juicy, ripe, sun-soaked summer peach. I was craving a twist on the classic peach crisp, and that’s how this easy gluten-free maple sesame peach crisp was born.

When I started to brainstorm the idea for this healthy peach crisp, I was immediately taken to the markets in Israel that I visited about a month ago. These markets had the best fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, tahini, and unique spices.

Walking through these Israeli markets is where I got the idea to try this restaurant-worthy peach cobbler with tahini and sesame. I’ve partnered with Now© Foods to make this crisp, their Organic & Raw Sesame Seeds, Raw & Unsalted Pecans, and Organic Rolled Oats are my go-to ingredients for this easy summer dessert recipe.

Gluten-Free Peach Crumble Recipe Ingredients

I always head to my local farmers’ market for ripe and fresh peaches. If peaches aren’t in season, frozen and thawed peaches also work very well. Now© Foods is my go-to place for the pantry ingredients in this peach crisp recipe. 

• Now© Foods Organic & Raw Sesame Seeds: give the crisp topping a nice crunch plus a mellow nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the ripe peaches 
• Now© Foods Raw & Unsalted Pecans: these pecans add a nice warm flavor to the crisp topping plus a crunch that makes a signature crisp 
• Now© Foods Organic Rolled Oats: makes the base of the gluten-free crisp topping, they provide a nice tender and chewy texture to the recipe 
• Tahini: also known as sesame seed paste, binds the crisp together and gives a nutty flavor that goes perfectly with the natural sweetness of the peaches
• Now© Foods Organic Grade A Dark Color Maple Syrup: adds just the right amount of sweetness to the crisp topping to balance the nutty tahini and sesame seeds
• Oat flour: made from grinding oats in the food processor, the oat flour binds the topping together to make a crunchy, granola-like crisp 
• Spices: cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth to the topping and go nicely with the sweetness of the maple syrup
• Peaches & Apricots: they are best in the prime summer months. If you don’t care for apricots, use all peaches. Frozen peaches will also work well with this recipe, just add a couple teaspoons of a gluten-free thickener like arrowroot.

How to Make Easy Peach and Apricot Crisp

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 
2. Prepare the filling: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, add the peaches and apricots.
3. Prepare the crumble topping: In a large bowl, stir together the sesame seeds, chopped pecans, oat flour, rolled oats, tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and season with a pinch of salt. 
4. Spread the crumble mixture on top of the fruit. Cover with foil and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. 
5. Remove the foil and bake another 20 to 30 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble is golden brown. 
6. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes, then serve with coconut or oat milk ice cream.

How to Make Oat Flour at Home

Oat flour is something easy to make at home, all you need is rolled oats and a high speed blender or food processor. Just place the oats into the blender and food processor and blend until finely ground into a flour. 

This is the easiest at-home gluten-free flour solution. Store the flour in an airtight container for up to one month.
