Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, substitute the canned peaches with fresh or frozen peaches, adjusting the sweetness based on ripeness. You can replace whole wheat flour with almond flour for a gluten-free option. Consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. If you prefer a sweeter topping, increase the brown sugar slightly or add a touch of maple syrup.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Crisp is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Cool Marinated Carrots for a refreshing contrast. For a more indulgent dessert, drizzle with caramel sauce or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the crisp in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds. Serve warm for the best flavor.
