Summer Baking – Peach Crisp

The best part of summer is all the fresh fruit at cheap prices. In France, they have flat peaches that look like UFOs, but they are delicious, sweet, and so easy to peel for baked goods. I made peach crisp this week and it was just the best thing I’ve made.

Topping Ingredients

2 tbsp butter for top of dessert

Pre-heat your oven to 350 F or 175C.

Take your butter from the refrigerator and cut into 1/2 tbsp pieces and place in freezer.

Clean and slice your peaches – you can peel or not peel (it is really up to you). The small french peaches peel like oranges so it doesn’t add much time here. Try to keep the size consistent so it cooks evenly. Mix the dry ingredients from the filling list together and add to the peaches. Add a big squeeze of lemon (1/2) using your hand and the cut side in your palm to keep the seeds out. Put in a lightly greased casserole or baking pan.

Place all the topping ingredients in a mixing bowl. Use your pastry cutter. If you don’t have one, use your hands or a fork. Spread on top top peaches. Dot the top of the dessert for extra crispness.

Bake for 45-55 minutes until the top is crunch and the peaches are bubbly.

Cool for 20 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream
