Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the brown sugar mixture. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can substitute it with equal parts flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or oats to the topping for extra crunch. Keep an eye on the crisp as it bakes to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. This Peach Butterscotch Crisp pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving it alongside James' Sugar Cookies for a sweet treat duo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! If using fresh peaches, use about 4-5 medium-sized, peeled and sliced peaches. You may want to add a bit of sugar to the peaches if they’re not very sweet. Fresh peaches will provide a wonderful texture and flavor to the crisp.
Is there a way to make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can easily make this Peach Butterscotch Crisp gluten-free by using a gluten-free biscuit mix or a combination of gluten-free flour and baking powder. Be sure to check the labels of all ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free.
Can I prepare this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the topping and store it separately in the fridge. Assemble the crisp with the peaches just before baking to maintain the topping's texture. Alternatively, you can bake it in advance and reheat as needed for serving.
