Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using. This may require adjusting the cooking time slightly, as frozen fruit can release more moisture during cooking.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! You can replace the butter with coconut oil or a non-dairy butter substitute. Make sure to use brown sugar that is labeled vegan, as some brands may contain bone char in their processing.
What other fruits can I use in this recipe?
Feel free to experiment with different fruits! Apples, pears, or berries can work beautifully in this crisp. Just adjust the spices to complement the fruit you choose, and keep an eye on the cooking time as different fruits may cook faster or slower.
