Peach Crisp

What a summer delight!  

A large baking dish full to serve a crowd!

In the summer I love to make fruit crisp!  It reminds me of when I grew up. 

My mom could put a fruit crisp together in a snap and everyone loved 

these fruit desserts in the summer with some vanilla ice cream on the side.

With so many choices and plenty of great farmer's market produce

available, why not try your favorite stone fruit or even berries!

It is a dessert you can put together so quickly and I really don't know anyone 

who does not like this type of fruit dessert, especially when 

it is still warm from the oven!

As Always,

ENJOY

For those who need specific recipe directions, and quantities, do not be put off by my explanation.

I have helped my mom make this dessert since I was probably 10 years old.  I hardly measure, but know that whether you make this in a big baking dish to serve 8-10, or a small dish for 2, it is really about ratio, get that right, and your golden!

     Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

   Select your baking dish,  fill the bottom half of the dish full of cut fruit or berries.  Sprinkle with sugar, and if you like some cinnamon.  If the fruit is very juicy, sprinkle with a bit of instant tapioca

granules, stir.

   In a bowl mix flour, old fashioned oats, granular sugar, brown sugar and butter, to form a crumb topping.  Sprinkle this over the top of your fruit and spread to the edges of the dish. 

    Bake for 30 min or until the crumb topping is beginning to brown. 

     Let cool slightly before serving.  

For a large baking dish of fruit, 8-10 people this is my ratio

1c flour

1c oats

1c sugar(half white,half brown)

1/2 c butter

cinnamon - optional

salt - optional
