Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Absolutely! This recipe is quite flexible. You can substitute peaches with other fruits like nectarines, plums, or even berries. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose to ensure the perfect balance.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially the baking powder if used, are certified gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination.
Can I prepare this in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the crumb topping ahead of time and store it separately in the fridge. Assemble the dish just before baking for the best texture. This allows the flavors to meld while still offering a fresh-baked taste when served.
