Peach Crisp



Who doesn't like a good baked-fruit dessert? Well, my poor husband cannot eat berries, so when all those beautiful strawberries, blueberries and raspberries make their way to the farmer's market, I can only daydream about creating a raspberry pie or strawberry tart.

But, we both love peaches, especially in pie or crisp form. I had bought some peaches to eat this week for lunch, but then Whole Foods had Georgia peaches when we went to buy meats this Sunday afternoon. Not only were they Georgia peaches, they were soft and ripe... perfect to use that day. So a handful were purchased to be peeled and sliced into a crisp.

Place 4 cups of peeled and sliced peaches into a lightly greased 8" pan.

Top with a mixture of 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup quick oats, 3/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg (more if you like nutmeg--I am a nutmeg minimalist) and 1/3 cup butter cut into the dry mixture.

Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes until the topping is browned and the fruit is bubbling!

Great for dessert...and breakfast the next morning!
