Notes
Peaches: Fresh peaches will yield the best flavor, but you can use thawed, frozen peach slices. Canned peaches can be used, but need to be drained completely and the baking time reduced by 10 minutes. Lemon: One small lemon should yield 1 teaspoon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Flour: Use gluten-free, all-purpose, or whole white wheat flour. Leftovers: Store leftover Peach Crisp in a sealed container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. To Peel Fresh Peaches:
Score the skin of the peach slightly with a knife.
Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Place peaches in a large pot of boiling water for 15-20 seconds, or until the skin begins to split.
Remove peaches from boiling water with a slotted spoon and place them into an ice bath.
Use a paring knife to peel the skin, which should easily peel off the flesh of the peach.
