How to Make peach crisp with canned peaches
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures even cooking of your peach crisp right from the start.
Prepare Your Peaches: Drain the canned peaches well and slice them if needed. Pour them into an 8×8-inch baking dish along with some cinnamon and sugar for added flavor.
Make the Crisp Topping: In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Mix in cinnamon for that extra oomph.
Assemble Your Dish: Spread the crisp topping evenly over your prepared peaches in the baking dish. Ensure every inch is covered to achieve that glorious crunch after baking.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your dish in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is beautifully golden brown and bubbly.
Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow your peach crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps set everything together nicely and makes it easier to scoop out portions.
Now you have a fantastic dessert ready to enjoy! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for an indulgent experience that takes this treat over the top!
