Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season, or substitute with canned or frozen peaches if necessary. You can also add nuts or dried fruit to the crumble for added texture. If you prefer a bit of crunch, replace half of the rolled oats with crushed nuts. Adjust the spices to your taste, and try adding a touch of vanilla for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm and top with a generous scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of cream for a delightful contrast to the warm, spiced peaches. This crisp pairs beautifully with Rich Waffles for a delightful brunch. Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top for extra flavor and crunch, and serve alongside fresh berries for a colorful plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place the peach crisp in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, though the oven method helps retain the crispiness of the topping.
