Can I make peach crisp with canned peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use canned peaches for this peach crisp with fresh peaches recipe. Drain them well and reduce the added sugar in the filling by about half since canned peaches are usually packed in syrup. Fresh peaches provide superior flavor and texture, but canned peaches make this a year-round dessert option.

How do I know when peaches are ripe enough for peach crisp?

The perfect peaches for peach crisp with fresh peaches should yield slightly to gentle pressure, emit a sweet aroma, and have vibrant color. They shouldn't be rock hard or overly soft. If your peaches need ripening, place them in a paper bag at room temperature for 1-2 days.

Can I make peach crisp ahead of time for a party?

Absolutely! You can prepare the components separately (topping and filling) and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble and bake before your event. Alternatively, assemble the entire crisp, refrigerate unbaked for up to 24 hours, then bake when needed, adding about 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Why is my peach crisp topping soggy instead of crisp?

A soggy topping in peach crisp with fresh peaches usually results from either not using cold butter, overmixing the topping ingredients, or covering the warm crisp too soon after baking. For the crispiest topping, use cold butter cut into small cubes, mix just until crumbly, and let the baked crisp cool uncovered.
