Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches to equal the 16 oz. can. Make sure to adjust the baking time as fresh peaches may release more juice, which could require a slightly longer baking time to achieve that crunchy topping.
What can I serve with Peach Crunch?
Peach Crunch is versatile and can be served as a dessert on its own or with a scoop of ice cream. It also pairs well with coffee or tea for a sweet afternoon snack. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it with savory dishes like Johnson Meat Loaf for a delightful contrast.
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, this Peach Crunch is suitable for vegetarians, as it contains no meat or animal-derived products aside from butter. For a vegan option, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine, ensuring that all ingredients are vegan-friendly for those following a vegetarian diet.
