What is the difference between a peach crisp and a crumble?

Great question. A crisp typically includes oats in the topping, which gives it a chewy, toasted texture. A crumble usually skips the oats and is more like a streusel, softer and cake-like. This recipe is very much a crisp, thanks to that oat-packed topping.

Do peach and strawberry go together?

Absolutely. Their flavors are complementary, strawberries bring brightness and slight tartness, while peaches add juicy sweetness. The contrast creates balance, especially when paired with cinnamon and vanilla in a dessert like this. If you love fruity combos, try them chilled together in a Strawberry Crunch Salad .

Why is my peach crisp not crispy?

There are a few reasons: Too much moisture from overripe fruit or frozen fruit not drained properly Topping was overmixed or too thin You skipped broiling at the end Next time, try patting fruit dry and broiling the crisp for 2–3 minutes after baking for extra texture.

What makes Tropicana strawberry peach so popular?

It’s likely the same reason this dessert works so well, the sweet, smooth notes of peach paired with bright strawberry just feel refreshing, nostalgic, and satisfying. Whether in juice or a crisp, the combo is a winner.
