Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend. You can also use fresh or frozen peaches; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches. Consider adding oats to the crumb mixture for extra texture. A pinch of salt can enhance the flavors.
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 a refreshing Tangy Fruit Salad on the side. For breakfast, try it with yogurt or enjoy it as a sweet snack. A sprinkle of chopped nuts can add an extra crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but the topping may lose some crispiness.
