💡 Tips for the Best Peach Crisp
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.

- Keep the butter cold for a crisp, crumbly topping.
- Add chopped pecans or almonds for extra crunch.

❓ FAQ
Can I leave the peach skins on?
Yes! The skins soften during baking, though peeling gives a smoother filling.
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes. Drain them well before using and reduce the added sugar slightly.
What’s the difference between a crisp and a crumble?
A crisp includes oats in the topping, while a crumble typically uses only flour, butter, and sugar.
Can I make it ahead?
Absolutely! Assemble it a few hours in advance, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
