FAQ
The easiest answer? Crisps have oats and crumbles don't. A crumble topping is more cake or streusel like and is made mainly with butter, sugar and flour.
No! The fact that you don't need to peel the peaches makes this recipe even easier! Peach skin isn't fuzzy like it used to be so you won't even be able to tell if the peaches are peeled or not. The great color the peel gives the dessert is an added bonus.
This dessert is best with fresh peaches, but you can easily swap in well drained canned peaches or frozen peaches.
Expert Tips
- Make sure your fruit is sliced in similar sizes for even cooking.
- Feel free to add in berries or another fruit with the peaches for additional color and flavor. Blueberries are one of my favorite add ins.
- Fill your baking dish with enough fruit! This recipe is forgiving, so don't worry about adding too much fruit. The fruit will cook down as it bakes, so if your baking dish isn't full enough, don't be scared to add more!
- If you are looking for a more pie like texture to the crumble topping, swap the melted butter and use cold butter instead.
