Can I use frozen nectarines for this crisp recipe?

While fresh nectarines are ideal for the best texture and flavor, you can use frozen nectarines if fresh ones aren’t available. Be sure to thaw and drain the fruit thoroughly before using to avoid excess moisture in the filling. Keep in mind that the baking time might need slight adjustments.

How can I make this nectarine crisp gluten-free?

To make this Nectarine Crisp with Cinnamon Oat Pecan Streusel gluten-free, simply swap the regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Also, ensure the oats you’re using are certified gluten-free, as some oats are processed in facilities that handle gluten products.

Can I make the streusel topping ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the streusel topping ahead of time. Once the butter is mixed in, store the streusel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, simply add the topping to your fruit mixture and bake as usual.

How should I store leftovers?

Leftover Nectarine Crisp with Cinnamon Oat Pecan Streusel can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid using a microwave to reheat, as it can make the topping less crisp.
