Baked One Thing From Scratch Each Month Series: January Peach Crisp

 

Baked One Thing From Scratch Each Month Series: January Peach Crisp 

his year, I set a small but meaningful goal for myself: to bake one thing from scratch each month. Nothing too fancy, just intentional — slowing down, learning, and enjoying the process. For January, I kicked things off with a classic peach crisp, made with pantry staples and canned peaches.

There’s something really comforting about starting the year with a simple, nostalgic dessert. The peaches were warm and jammy, the topping buttery and crisp, and it felt like the perfect reminder that “from scratch” doesn’t have to mean complicated — just thoughtful. One month down, many more bakes to go.
