Fresh peaches and the spices in gingersnap cookies are a magical combination. And I love the crunch on top that this crisp has.

Recipes Using Crushed Ginger Snaps

Crushed ginger snap cookies are a great way to add a little flavor and crunch to desserts. They also make a great topping for vanilla ice cream or a yogurt parfait, but my favorite way to use them is in a fruit crisp.

What Is A Crisp?

A crisp is a fruit dessert in which the fruit is topped with a crunchy mixture of butter, brown sugar, and flour. It’s very similar to a cobbler which has a biscuit-like or pie crust-style topping. Both crisps and cobblers are best when served with vanilla ice cream.

Fresh, Ripe Peaches

To make a really good crisp, you want to start with really amazing fresh peaches. Preferably they are really ripe and positively dripping with juice when you slice them. If you don’t have fresh peaches, frozen peaches are perfectly acceptable. Just thaw them first.

Simple Filling

The filling is a simple mixture of sliced peaches, brown sugar, a little cornstarch to help thicken the juices, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt.

Gingersnap Topping

The topping consists of crushed gingersnap cookies, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and butter. Once assembled, it takes about 30 minutes to bake. Let it cool about 10 minutes and then serve warm.

If you love the flavor of gingersnap cookies, you are going to adore this Peach Crisp.
