Notes
Add Blueberries or Blackberries: Feel free to add a handful of fresh blueberries or blackberries to the peach mix before adding the oat topping.
Frozen Peaches: Allow the peaches to thaw and pour the excess liquid into a bowl. Place thawed peaches over the bowl, and continue with recipe as written.
Canned Peaches: To use Canned Peaches for this recipe, skip the first 3 steps in the recipe card. Make the crumble topping, and use juice from the canned peaches to make the sauce.
Gluten-Free Peach Crisp: Use a gluten free cup for cup flour blend. I recommend the Cup4Cup brand. Make sure to use gluten free oats as well.
Make Ahead Instructions: The peaches and syrup and the oat topping can both be made up to a day in advance, stored separately in the fridge.
Freezing Instructions: Allow baked peach crisp to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw completely overnight in the fridge then warm in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Assembled, unbaked Peach Crisp may also be frozen.
