1 and 1/4 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned large flake)

Notes
- Peach Crisp can be made in a greased 8×8-inch baking dish in place of the cast iron skillet.
- Rolled oats – if you want to substitute quick oats for the large flakes, that okay! You may need to add another 1/4 cup to to the topping. Mix the recipe as stated in the recipe card, then add two tablespoons of rolled oats at a time until the mixture is crumbly.
- Pecans can be substituted with walnuts.
- Peach Crisp can be covered and refrigerated for up to three days.
- Although you can freeze a peach crisp, I would recommend baking it in an 8×8-inch baking pan if you plan on freezing it. Simply cover the container with plastic wrap, then foil and freeze for two to three months.
- Thaw in the refrigerator, then warm up in 325°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
