Ingredients
Instructions
- Place sliced peaches in a baking dish.

- Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches; if they're out of season, frozen peaches can work in a pinch. You can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for added nutrition. If you prefer a nuttier taste, consider adding chopped nuts or using almond flour. A pinch of nutmeg can also enhance the flavor profile. This dish pairs beautifully with Peaches And Cheesecake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach crisp warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. It also pairs well with a drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving with Chocolate Butterfinger Ice Cream or alongside a slice of Zucchini Lemon Bread for a refreshing twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. This will help maintain the crispiness of the topping. You can also microwave individual servings for a quick treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture. Adjust the baking time if necessary, as canned peaches are already soft. The flavor may be different, but it can still be a delicious alternative when fresh peaches are not available.
Can I add other fruits to the peach crisp?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in other fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or apples for added flavor and variety. Just ensure that the total fruit volume remains around 3 cups to maintain the proper texture. This flexibility allows you to tailor the crisp to your taste preferences or seasonal availability.
What can I substitute for oats in the topping?
If you don't have oats, you can use crushed graham crackers or a mixture of chopped nuts and flour for a different texture. Another option is to use a gluten-free flour blend if you're following gluten-free dietary restrictions. Experimenting with different toppings can yield delicious results!
