Recipe tips for perfect results:
- Determine the type of peaches you will use:
- Fresh: Select ripe peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch but still firm. Cling-free will allow the fruit to easily separate from the pit. If the skin doesn't easily peel away when scored, peel with a knife or peeler. Alternatively, blanch in boiling water and then transfer to ice bath so the skin will easily peel.
- Canned: Low sugar canned peaches recommended. Drain prior to using.
- Frozen: Place in baking dish and allow to fully thaw before adding topping and baking.
- Peach cobbler variations: Make peach blueberry cobbler by adding a few handfuls of blueberries. Blackberries or raspberries taste great with peach too. If you have a vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds and mix them in with the peaches. A splash of vanilla or lemon zest in the crumb topping always tastes great.
- Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
- Serving suggestions: Serve warm or cold. Also tastes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Lol I forgot the lemon juice so we will see how this turns out!
Krissy
The lemon just keeps the peaches from browning too much and gives it the slightest tart flavor to balance out the sweet, but it totally works w/o lemon too. Thanks for trying my recipe! Krissy

Made this yesterday for BBQ. I doubled the
recipe but had my doubts. How could something
this easy be good? Surprise! Everyone’s first bite
was a surprise! “Dang this is Good! Love the
crunchy bits!!” Everyone wanted the recipe and
I could tell them the recipe because seriously! It’s
that easy!
Krissy
Glad everyone liked it! Thank you for such a thoughtful comment.

We were going out of town so I asked people to take leftovers which they were thrilled to do. A 9x13 pan was too much for 6 people but I saved a bit for me. It was still good with nice crunch next day and I was sorry we didn’t save more. I’ll be freezing peaches so I can make again in Oct when my kids visit. I’ve used frozen in the past and know it works well. Thanks!!
