- Bake on a sheet pan to catch any bubbling juices
Variations & Substitutions
- Swap peaches for nectarines if preferred
- Use frozen fruit (no need to thaw, just add extra baking time)
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the topping
- Make it gluten-free with a 1:1 flour substitute
- Reduce sugar slightly if your fruit is very sweet
Serving Suggestions

- Add a dollop of whipped cream

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until warmed through, or microwave individual servings for a quick option. The topping may soften slightly but will still taste great.
