Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, use ripe, fragrant peaches. If you don't have enough peaches, feel free to substitute with other fruits like nectarines or plums. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit. Using brown sugar instead of white can add a nice depth. For added texture, consider mixing in some oats or chopped nuts into the topping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach crisp warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Frosted Fruit Dip for an extra touch of sweetness. For a more indulgent dessert, consider serving it alongside a slice of Cherry Cheesecake Cups. A sprinkle of chopped mint can also enhance the presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or microwave individual servings for 30-60 seconds until heated through. Enjoy it warm for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but it's best to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture. This will help maintain the crispiness of the topping. If using frozen, consider adding a bit more flour to help absorb the extra liquid.
What can I do if I don't have cinnamon?
If you don't have cinnamon, you can substitute it with nutmeg or allspice for a different flavor profile. Alternatively, a dash of vanilla extract can enhance the sweetness of the peaches without the spice. Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the peach layer and topping separately and assemble them just before baking. This way, you can enjoy a freshly baked crisp. Alternatively, you can bake it ahead and simply reheat it when you're ready to serve.
