Notes
Peaches tend to bruise easily, so I recommend buying an extra peach or two. That way, if you have cut away some bad spots, you won't run short.
I used light brown sugar, but dark brown sugar will also work.
This recipe is easy to adapt for various diets! For a vegan / dairy free crisp, use plant based butter. For a gluten free crisp, use almond flour (or a 1 to 1 GF baking flour) instead of all-purpose, and make sure to use GF oats. You can also leave out the nuts, if needed.
If you'd prefer to make this dessert without oats in the topping, feel free to substitute my easy oat free Crumble Topping. It's super tasty either way!
