Variations
- I sometimes swap peaches for nectarines or apricots.
- For the berries, I like using blackberries or blueberries when raspberries aren’t available.
- I use gluten-free flour when needed, and plant-based milk and butter to make it vegan.
- I skip the almonds or use oats if I’m baking for someone with a nut allergy.
- A pinch of cinnamon in the fruit or vanilla extract in the dough adds a cozy twist.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm portions in the oven at 160°C to keep the topping crisp. Microwaving works too, but the topping gets softer.
