Their skin should be smooth and have a warm color. Avoid any peaches that have bruises or dark spots. If they don’t smell sweet, they might not be ready. You can also buy them a bit firm and let them ripen at home. One common mistake is using hard peaches. They won't soften well when baked. Make sure to peel the peaches before slicing. The skin can make the crisp tough. Don’t skip the lemon juice! It adds flavor and helps keep the peaches fresh. Lastly, avoid overmixing the topping. You want it crumbly, not pasty. For the topping, use cold butter. This helps create a nice, crisp texture. Mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Don’t worry about being perfect; uneven pieces add texture. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth. If you like nuts, sprinkle some extra chopped pecans on top before baking. For the best results, bake until golden brown and bubbly.
