Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches, but you'll need to peel, slice, and possibly add a bit of sugar to sweeten them as canned peaches are typically packed in syrup. Fresh peaches will also require a bit more baking time, so keep an eye on the crisp as it cooks.
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
If you need a butter substitute, you can use coconut oil or a plant-based margarine for a dairy-free option. Both will provide a similar richness to the dish. Just ensure that the substitute is melted before mixing with the cake mix for the best texture.
How do I know when the crisp is done baking?
The crisp is done when the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the cake layer should come out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
