Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Arrange peaches in an 8 x 8-inch square pan.
- Mix baking mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, and margarine with a fork until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Bake until light brown, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm, optionally with ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly healthier option, you can substitute coconut oil for margarine. If you prefer a bit more texture, consider adding oats to the crumb mixture. Make sure to adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of the peaches; overly sweet peaches may require less brown sugar. This crisp is fantastic with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it a delightful finish to any dinner, especially after 'Best Ever Chicken'.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this peach crisp warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a side of Lemonade With Sherbet for a refreshing contrast. For a more substantial dessert, consider serving it alongside a slice of 'Double Crust Pie Pastry' filled with berries or apples.
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. You can also microwave individual servings for quick reheating, but the oven will help maintain the crisp texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them to remove excess moisture before adding them to the pan. This will help avoid a soggy crisp. You may also need to adjust the baking time slightly.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this peach crisp gluten-free, substitute the Bisquick baking mix with a gluten-free flour blend or a certified gluten-free baking mix. Ensure that all other ingredients, including the brown sugar, are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the crumb topping. A splash of vanilla extract or almond extract can also elevate the taste. Spices like nutmeg or ginger can provide a warm undertone, making it a perfect dessert for any season.
