Tips for Making Peach Crisp

• Fresh Peaches. Feel free to leave the peach skins on if you like them or don’t feel like peeling the peaches. You’ll need about 5-6 ripe peaches. Measure out 3 cups of peach slices.
• As a peach ripens it gets sweeter and the flesh is softer. To tell if the peach is ripe enough, gently press the peach to see if it is hard or soft. You want to choose a fruit that starts to slightly “give” when pressed. Hard peaches are not ripe enough to bake with. Peaches should be stored at room temperature with the stem side down in a single layer.
• Frozen Peaches. Let frozen peaches thaw completely before mixing with the filling ingredients. This will allow the fruit to release their juices which will combine with the sugar and create the syrup. It will also allow the crisp to bake more evenly and prevent the middle from being under-cooked. You will need 3 cups of frozen peach slices.
• Canned Peaches. If using canned peaches, make sure that you drain the liquid before mixing other ingredients. Canned peaches typically come packed in sweetened syrup or fruit juice, so you will need to adjust the sugar to your desired sweetness. You will need to purchase 2 (16 ounce) cans of peach slices and measure out 3 cups of fruit.
• Both old-fashioned rolled oats and quick cook oats work with this recipe.
• Make this a gluten-free peach crisp by replacing the rolled oats with gluten-free oats and the all-purpose flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
• You can make this recipe in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish by modifying the recipe 1.5 times the ingredients.
• Store the peach crisp in the refrigerator, covered for up to 4 days.
• Freeze the crisp after it has cooled completely. Wrap in two layers of plastic wrap before placing in the freezer. When you are ready to serve it, allow the dessert to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until it is heated through.
• Peaches are in season from May to August but they freeze very well! It’s a good idea to purchase peaches in bulk and freeze them for use later in the year. Frozen peaches work great in fruit pies and jams.
• Add other berries to this recipe such as blueberries, blackberries or raspberries. Like I said before, it’s really hard to mess this one up!
