Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, try using vanilla extract or cinnamon in the peach layer. If you don’t have butter brickle cake mix, a yellow or vanilla cake mix can work well as a substitute. You can also experiment with fresh peaches if they're in season; just peel and slice them. This recipe is an easy way to make a delicious dessert using simple, American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach crisp warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Strawberry-Melon Salad for a refreshing side, or enjoy it as a standalone dessert. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top adds a nice crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. This will help retain the crisp texture.
