What is the difference between a Peach Crisp and Peach Cobbler?
A Peach Crisp is a baked fruit dessert that is topped with a crisp and crunchy layer of amazing ingredients. It usually includes oats.
A Peach Cobbler is a baked fruit dessert that is topped with a biscuit or pie dough topping.
Peach Crisp Ingredients:
- Canned Peaches: The best part about using canned peaches is that they are already sweetened with syrup. We don’t want a soggy crisp, so draining the syrup is important but you are left with perfectly sweet peaches.
- Butter: What is a good crumb topping without butter? Softened butter is what holds all of the ingredients together. Although the true magic happens when it bakes in the oven and creates a crisp crust.
- Brown Sugar: Every good crisp topping needs sugar to sweeten it up and I am a believer that brown sugar is where it is at.
- Flour: The addition of flour to the topping will bind everything together and keep it in crumb form as it bakes.
- Oats: Oats add texture and also bind the topping nicely. You can use quick cook or old fashioned oats for an amazing end result.
- Cinnamon: The warm touch of cinnamon is always a welcome addition when added to fruit. The flavor will bring everything together.
- Salt: Although it is a sweet dessert, adding salt is important because it enhances all of the flavors.
Peach Crisp Assembly
Pour two large cans of drained peaches into your 10″ skillet {or 9×9 baking pan}.
Add the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl. Next, add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and work the ingredients together until the mixture has a crumb texture {being carefully not to work into a paste}.
Sprinkle the crumb topping in an even layer over the top of the canned peaches.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top of the crisp is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
Peach Crisp Recipe Variations:
- Use canned pie filling instead of canned peaches. Apple, raspberry and cherry would all be wonderful.
- Add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans to the crisp topping for great flavor and texture.
- Make individual servings by baking the Canned Peach Crisp in small mason jars. Divide the peaches and topping between 6 jars. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
How to Store your Peach Crisp with Canned Peaches
The best way to store Peach Crisp with Canned Peaches is to allow it to cool completely. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
If you want to freeze the Crisp I suggest baking it in a 9×9 foil pan, allowing it to cool and covering well. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To thaw, allow it to sit at room temperature for an hour or in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.
How to Reheat your Peach Crisp:
- Microwave: Microwave individual serving size portions for 30-60 seconds or until warm.
- Oven: Place the Crisp back into the oven at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until warm.
Peach Crisp Tips:
- Don’t overwork the topping. This can result in a paste instead of a crumble texture.
- If you feel like the topping is too soft, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes before adding it to the top of the canned peaches.
- Cool the crisp completely before covering with plastic wrap. If you do this step while warm the crisp topping will get soggy.
- Make ahead tip: Make the crumb topping the day before need. Assemble right before baking and bake as directed.
