How do I prevent the crisp from becoming too soggy?
- To avoid a soggy crisp, ensure your peaches are not overly juicy before adding them to the dish. If using frozen peaches, allow them to thaw and then drain any excess liquid. Also, adding a bit of cornstarch or flour to the peach mixture can help absorb extra moisture.
What’s the best way to peel peaches?
To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to ice water. The skins should slide off easily with a knife or your fingers.
Can I make the peach crisp ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the peach filling and crisp topping ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before baking. You can also fully assemble the crisp and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake, though the topping may absorb some moisture and become less crisp.
Can I freeze peach crisp?
Yes, you can freeze peach crisp either baked or unbaked. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen, adding additional time as needed, until it’s heated through and the topping is crispy.
How do I get a crispy topping on my peach crisp?
To ensure a crispy topping, make sure your butter is cold when you mix it with the dry ingredients. This creates little clumps that crisp up nicely in the oven. Also, baking the crisp until the topping is golden brown will help achieve that desired texture.
Can I add nuts to the topping for extra crunch?
Absolutely! Chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds make great additions to the topping, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
Is it necessary to use old-fashioned oats, or can I use quick oats?
While old-fashioned oats are recommended for their texture and ability to hold up during baking, quick oats can be used in a pinch. They will soften more in the baking process but still provide a tasty topping.
Can I make the air fryer peach crisp recipe gluten-free?
Yes, to make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
