Frozen baby.
That's what's so great about this cherry peach crisp recipe - it's made with frozen fruit.
Those bags of frozen peaches and frozen cherries in your freezer have a very important job to do: become the most delicious and gluten-free crisp EVER.
📝Ingredients

- Frozen peaches
- Gluten-free flour

🍑Can you use frozen peaches in a peach crisp?
Definitely! To use frozen peaches for peach crisp, all you have to do differently than if you used fresh peaches is give the frozen fruit a little more time in the oven.
In this recipe, after you get the frozen cherries and frozen peaches tossed in a little flour, cinnamon and fresh lemon juice, you'll give them like a pre-bake them in the oven.
So without the oatmeal crisp topping, you bake the fruit for about 10-15 minutes at 375F until it softens up and juices start to flow.
Basically, you're thawing the frozen fruit in the oven and giving it a head start for the overall baking of the crisp!
Once you add the brown sugar, cinnamon and oat topping on top, you'll bake for another 20 minutes in the oven until the fruit is bubbly and the oatmeal brown sugar topping is golden.
Pro Tip
I find it easiest to make the oat crumble on the top is with cold butter. And I'll cut it into cubes or - and this is just super satisfying to do - I'll grate the butter right on top of the oats and brown sugar mixture.
🥡Make it a Meal Prep (for Breakfast!)
Who says you can't have dessert for breakfast?! (Not me, that's for sure).
Pop leftover crisp into meal prep containers with a couple hard boiled eggs for a grab-and-go breakfast that packed with protein, healthy carbs and is just dang delicious.
