Peach Crisp
Fruit crisps are some of the easiest desserts to make, so even if you feel like you “can’t bake”, I promise you can make this.
Head to your local farmers market (or the grocery store) while peaches are in season and grab 6 large or 8 medium peaches (you will need 8 cups sliced peaches). While you are there grab any of the other ingredients you will need.
8 cups of peeled and thinly sliced peaches
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (you can also use cornstarch)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup room temperature butter (I used salted, but unsalted works too)
1 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
First, you will peel and slice the peaches. You should have about 8 cups of sliced peaches when you are done.
Then you will mix the sliced peaches with the 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Once that is mixed well you can put it in an 8x8 baking dish (make sure it’s greased)
For the topping, you will mix together the 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup flour. I used my stand mixer, but a spatula or 2 forks work too. Mix it until it feels like wet sand.
Then add in the 1 3/4 cup oats and mix well.
Top the peaches with the oats mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes at 400.
You can serve warm, or cold. My preference is warm with a little vanilla ice cream.
