Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumble mixture. If you don’t have walnuts, pecans or almonds can be great substitutes. For a gluten-free option, use almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour instead of regular flour. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat that pairs beautifully with My Favorite Peach Cobbler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel, slice, and toss them with a bit of sugar and spices to enhance their flavor before layering them in the baking dish. About 4-5 fresh peaches should be equivalent to the two cans used in the recipe.
What can I do if I don't have brown sugar?
If you don’t have brown sugar, you can make a substitute by mixing white sugar with a bit of molasses. For every cup of brown sugar, combine 1 cup of white sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses. Alternatively, you can use coconut sugar as a natural alternative.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this Harvest Spice Peach Crisp vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil or vegan margarine. Additionally, ensure that the oats are certified gluten-free if necessary, and you can use a flaxseed egg or applesauce as a binder if needed.
