Crumb Topping

1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Cold Butter (at least 65% fat)
1/4 C. Regular Rolled Oats

blend all the above together and crumble, set aside.

I usually make 2 times the recipe, use all but about 1/4 the total made for a 9 x 9 inch pan. The rest freezes well, for future reference.


Peach Crisp

4 - 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled & cut up.
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3-4 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2-3 TB flour

Preheat oven to 350*F

grease a 9 x 9 inch casserole with Butter or spray with Butter Pam & set aside. Mix the above ingredients and put in the greased casserole. Sprinkle filling with the crumb topping, and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Until filling is bubbly and topping is slightly brown.

Sounds good, Carol.

Have you ever used canned peaches in this recipe?
I bought 8 peaches the other day, hand-picked them at the grocery...5 of them were bad. Beautiful on the outside, brown on the inside. This has happened last 2 times. So, I bought some cans of peaches.

actually the recipe I started with said one could use fresh or canned peaches. But I would think that you should just use the peaches & not the juice.

about the bad peaches. I had to pitch 3 of the peaches I had for the very same reason... But it is sad to lose 5 of the 8 peaches you bought. I was going to use half fresh & half canned, but I found I did not have any canned peaches on hand...

Must be a bad year for peaches.
I always keep several cans of peaches...(the ones that are not in 'heavy syrup'). Lola loves peaches...and she loves oatmeal. I know she would love this!

let me know how the canned version comes out---If you like it, I will have something quick to throw together in the winter.. I LOVE me a good fruit dessert...

I make peach cobbler with canned peaches,, drain the juice into a bowl add cornstarch cinnamon lemon juice a bit of nutmeg, sugar or splenda, or sugar substitute of your choice and whisk it really good, then add the peaches back in the liquid , as it bakes the cornstarch thickens the liquid perfectly.

So the bottom doesn't have a crust cuz I love crust.

When I make a cobbler I use 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, then either 1 can of peaches or however many fresh peaches cut up I want and bake. I like the crust the best.

I like crust too Sheri,, that makes it 'specially good! I'm not good with the oatmeal topping thing, I don't do crips at all, Give me a crust and I'm sooooo there!

Sheri--you can put a crust in the bottom & then the filling & then the crumb topping--& bake it that way--either way it is great. The "just crumb topping over fruit" is a quick easy way if you do not have much time but still want a dessert.

It sounds good. i will try it!!!

vivek: let us know which version that you tried & what you thought of it.

OK sure

have you tried it? I keep meaning to make it but haven't because no one else at my house will eat it and I'll end up eating it all.

This is a really interesting recipe. Might do this for this weekend. Thanks!
