How to Make Southern Peach Crisp

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Peel and slice the peaches, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of the flour. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated, then spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen peaches?

You sure can! Thaw and drain them first, so the crisp doesn't get watery.

Can I use canned peaches?

You can but reduce the added sugar since canned peaches are already sweet.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven to crisp the topping back up.
