I love that this healthy peach crisp recipe is not only delicious but also easy to store and reheat. Simply let it cool completely on a wire rack before transferring it to an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
When reheating, I recommend using a low temperature (around 300°F) for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through – this will help preserve its texture and flavor. As for serving ideas, my kids adore having warm slices topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream – but feel free to get creative with your own toppings!
One of our favorite ways to serve it is as a breakfast-for-dinner option – we top toasted English muffins with warm peach crisp and call it ‘peach muffin delight’.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Healthy Peach Crisp
Q: What type of peaches are best for this recipe?
A: For this recipe, you’ll want to use fresh, ripe peaches that are slightly firm to the touch. Any variety will work, but I find that Georgia or South Carolina peaches give the best flavor.
Q: Can I use frozen peaches instead?
A: While frozen peaches will work in a pinch, they’ll lack some of the texture and flavor that fresh peaches provide. If you do choose to use frozen peaches, make sure to thaw them first and pat dry with paper towels before using.
Q: How do I prevent the oat topping from getting soggy?
A: To prevent the oat topping from getting soggy, make sure to mix it well with the melted butter before sprinkling over the peaches. This will help it stick together better and prevent it from becoming too moist during baking.
Q: Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
A: Yes! Simply substitute whole wheat oats with gluten-free oats and ensure that your other ingredients are also gluten-free compliant.
Q: How long does this recipe keep in the fridge?
A: This recipe will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days – simply reheat in the oven or microwave as needed.
