how to serve Peach Crisp

Peach crisp is best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. Scoop generous portions into bowls and top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast of flavors and temperatures. It also pairs well with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness!

how to store Peach Crisp

To store any leftover peach crisp, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep it for longer, you can freeze it in an airtight container for up to three months. Just make sure to thaw it completely before reheating.

tips to make Peach Crisp

Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor.
Feel free to mix in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different taste.
If you want a bit more crunch, add nuts like pecans or walnuts to the oat mixture.
Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches; less sugar may be needed if the peaches are very ripe.

variation

For a twist on this classic recipe, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture for extra flavor. Alternatively, use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a unique taste. You can also substitute the oats with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-friendly version.
