Peach Crisp with Canned Peaches

You don’t have to wait until summer to have peach crisp! This peach crisp with canned peaches is a comforting, old-fashioned recipe for the whole year ’round.

Peach Crisp with Canned Peaches

Somewhere along the line, I got to thinking that peach crisp was only for peach season. How could I forget about making peach crisp using canned peaches? As in the version made by so many grandmas and happily eaten at so many church potlucks?

This crisp reminds me a bit of my Grandma’s peach cobbler. She made hers with canned peaches and the topping was always a little bit cakey, and buttery sweet. The peaches fall through as it bakes and create juicy pockets of fruit in each bite.

Peaches are canned at the peak of their ripeness, making canned peaches an excellent way to capture their summer glory. If you choose the peaches packed in juice -preferably- or light syrup, they’ll taste much fresher than those packed in heavy syrup.

Canned Peach Crisp

To make this cozy crisp using canned peaches, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• canned peaches
• sugar
• cornstarch
• cinnamon
• salt
• oats
• flour
• brown sugar
• butter
• optional: pecans or walnuts

While I use all-purpose flour for my crisp, you can definitely substitute a one-for-one gluten free flour blend for this recipe. I use light brown sugar for the recipe because it is more delicate in flavor. If dark brown sugar is all you have on hand, you can substitute it, though.

I do not recommend swapping quick oats in for the old-fashioned oats specified, though, because old fashioned oats give a chew and a crunch after baking. Quick oats don’t hold their own as well after baking on top of the juicy peaches.

I’m fond of chopped pecans or walnuts in the crisp topping. I think it lends a special extra something to the party. If you’re not fond of them or are allergic to them, please feel free to omit them!

Peach Crisp Recipe with Canned Peaches

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter. Drain the peaches and place them in the greased baking dish.

Stir together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the peaches.

In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and pecans. Add the butter and stir with a fork until crumbs form. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.

Bake for 28-30 minutes or until the crisp topping has browned and the fruit liquids are bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
