Peach Crisp Recipe
When baking dessert with fruit I try to use produce that is in season. You won’t believe how much better your home-cooked food will taste if you use locally grown in-season produce. Peaches alone are so sweet and juicy, once paired with the crumbly crisp topping, it’s a match made in heaven. This peach crisp recipe is a summer must!
Another summer must is my honey raspberry cake or fruit pizza recipe!
Difference between a crisp and a cobbler?
A cobbler topping is similar to a biscuit batter or topping. While a crisp has a more crumbly texture, similar to a streusel. It usually consists of oatmeal, flour, sugar, butter, and some kind of nuts.
Making a Peach Crisp with canned peaches
Yes, you can use canned peaches to make this peach crisp recipe! However, canned peaches have more syrup or liquid so you will want to drain them prior to using. If you are able to get fresh peaches, this recipe will taste the best with them.
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes. Let your frozen peaches thaw out prior to using them. Then make sure to drain any extra liquid. Using frozen peaches lets you make this peach crisp recipe year-round.
