Peach Crisp

Peach Crisp

So I had never made peach anything before, but decided to surprise Jon and make a peach cobbler for him. However, I couldn't find any good cobbler recipes, so I stuck to the basic peach crisp recipe from eHow.com, which will be my go to recipe for this from now on. I have made this 2 times in a week...very good!

How to peel the peaches: Boil water; add peaches and let sit for about 30 seconds in the water. Remove peaches and add to ice cold water. Skin should peel right off!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tsps. of ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 1/2 Cups of all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/4 tsp. of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of light brown sugar, firmly packed and divided
  • 1/2 cup of softened butter
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for topping
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. Put your prepared peaches into a mixing bowl.
3. Stir up in a mixture of 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp. of cinnamon.
4. Add the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon mixture to the prepared peaches and mix them well.
5. Lightly butter a 9-by-13 inch baking dish.
6. Place the peach mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and put it to the side.
7. Mix the rest of the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Add butter with a pastry blender until the mixture becomes coarse.
8. Drop this mixture over the peaches. Make sure it is spread evenly over the peaches.
9.Bake mixture until it is golden brown or for approximately 45 minutes.
10. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
