Peach crisp ingredient:

  • 6 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 TBS fresh lemon juice
  • 1 TBS cornstarch

Crumble topping ingredient

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
  • 2 TBS dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 8 TBS unsalted butter

Spray a square 8 x 8 cake pan with non stick spray or wipe with butter to prevent sticking.  Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Put the prepared peaches in a large bowl and toss them with the sugar and lemon.  Allow to sit for 40 minutes.   Once the peaches have given up a lot of juice after 40 minutes, put a colander over a saucepan and pour in the peaches, capturing all the juice in the pan.  Return peaches to the bowl.  Add 1/4 cup water plus the cornstarch to the peach liquid which is in the saucepan.  Place the saucepan on the stove top over low, simmering heat. Allow it to cook, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3 – 4 minutes. Pour back the sauce over the peach in the bowl and toss to coat.  Pour the peaches into the prepared baking pan.

*See the banana in there? I had one over ripe banana and, well, everything tastes better with banana.

Now make the crumble.  In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, sugars, salt and cinnamon. Heat the butter over medium heat for 6 – 8 minutes.  Pour the melted butter into the sugar – oat mix and stir to combine.

Top the peaches with the crumble then bake for 55 minutes, until brown.  Allow to cool for 20 minutes then serve with ice cream.
