Do you have to peel the peaches for a crisp?

It’s up to you. I prefer to peel mine for the crisp but it’s totally optional.

Can you make peach crisp with frozen peaches?

Yes, frozen peaches work very well. Just let them thaw before stirring them together with the rest of the filling ingredients.

Can you make it with canned peaches?

Canned peaches packed in juice instead of syrup will work, but they tend to make the crisp slightly mushier and not as flavorful. Make sure to drain some of the juice first so the filling isn’t too liquidy.

How do you store peach crisp?

Peach crisp is best served when it’s fresh out of the oven. If you do end up with leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.

Can you make it ahead of time?

I don’t recommend making peach crumble ahead of time because the peaches will seep their juices and the topping will lose its crispy crunch.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° grease a 2 or 2.5 quart baking dish. Rectangle shape, square, oval or deep dish pie plate.
Add the sliced peaches to a large bowl toss with the lemon juice and vanilla then stir in the flour, sugar and salt. Pour into the prepared dish. Set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together the rolled oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and zest. Stir in the melted butter until combined. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the peach juices are bubbling around the edges and the top is lightly golden brown. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve with vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Topping add in ideas: could mix in 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds to the topping and or add a pinch of nutmeg.
Peaches: peaches should be medium firm not overly ripe. I prefer to peel mine for the crisp but that's totally optional. Can use frozen peaches just defrost first. Canned peaches will also work. Drain first, keeping a little juice for the pan. Purchase canned peaches in juice rather than syrup. Using fresh or frozen is my preference, canned tends to be on the mushy side still very flavorful though.
Gluten free peach crisp: use gluten free flour and gluten free rolled oats.
Baking dish: I usually use a rectangular 11 x 7 ceramic baking dish. A deep dish pie plate or square, oval dish will also work. They can be a little smaller or a little larger 🙂
Store: Cover and keep leftovers in the fridge for 3-5 days.
