Empty the canned peaches into a strainer and let them drain over a bowl.
8 cups canned peaches
Halve or slice peaches.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine peaches, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice. Gently stir with a silicone spatula to distribute cornstarch and sugar.
3 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp white sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice
Add the fruit mixture to the baking dish, scraping any juices and sugar over the fruit that has accumulated in the bottom of the bowl.
In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, warm butter until it is about 50% melted and 50% warmed through.
8 tbsp butter
Add flour, white and brown sugars, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir with a fork to distribute the butter.
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Top fruit with crisp mixture. Some clumps are ok, but break apart any large clumps.
Bake at 350˚F, uncovered for 45-50 minutes or until the crumble topping is lightly browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling.
Cool for 10-15 minutes and serve.
Notes
Spoon the flour into the measuring cup instead of the ol’ “scoop and dump” method. That will pack the cup too full and will produce a dry crumble topping.
If your canned peaches are extra sweet, you can leave out the sugar altogether. If they are unsweetened, try using 1/4-1/3 cup.
Storing Leftovers: Allow the crisp to cool and store covered leftovers at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for 4-5 days.
