Think outside the box for dessert and make this foil-pack peach crisp. By utilizing your grill, this unique method delivers the perfect mix of smoky flavor and crisp texture. We love it because we don’t have to heat up the house with our oven.
We are peach people through and through and are excited it’s peach season! This recipe was born out of not wanting to turn on our oven during the hot summer months. And? We wanted to challenge ourselves to make a whole meal on the grill, even the dessert.
Plus, if you don’t use all of your peaches on this foil pack peach crisp you can always make our peach smoothie or these moist peach muffins.

Would this recipe still work if you make ahead?
Sorry , But You Can’t Be A Celiac Resistant Person And Use Any Flour , PERIOD !!! Has To Be GLUTEN – FREE Flour, Sister !!!
Amazing recipe, I am going to make it by this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Mmhmm, I love grilled food as well. Who knew you could also grill a crumble?! What a fantastic idea!
Can’t wait to make this! Quick question are the calories and sugar amount mentioned for one serving? Working out these days so I was wondering if I could fit this in ?
Hi! Yes, the amount is per serving. Thanks!
Can i make this with peaches that are not ripen yet ? Im thinking because it has to cook, it should be ok?
Big fan of grilled food and this dish is stunning. Yummy
This seriously looks and sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it.
This looks amazing! We will make it in the oven because we still have to shop for a new grill!!
Oh my gosh! Looks delicious! Colorado peaches are so good right now. I’ll have to make this soon!

Do you know the WW smart points?
Can you bake instead of grill? If yes at what temp and for how long?
Yes absolutely! I would say 375ish for around 30 minutes or so!
Oh, I’m a sucker for grilled dessert recipes! And for fresh peach anything. And crumbles/cobblers. So much so that I’ve been known to combine the two concepts for fruit crumble-cobbler recipes in the past! This is definitely on my to-try list this summer! (And, love, love the video!)
Ohhhhh Linley! Momma’s gonna make some peach crumble for Papa today. Nice recipe!
