Special Recipe Peach Crisp For Two

This is a perfect amount of dessert for just two people. It is quick, easy and tastes divine over a scoop of ice cream!!

As soon as grocery stores advertize peaches as $0.99 per pound, my mom and I stock up as if we’re preparing for a fruit Armageddon. She and I buy them 6 at a time, basically on a weekly basis. We rarely nibble on them fresh, practically swatting at my dad and guy if they reach for one as a snack, and always slice them up to bake my grandma’s peach pie.

 

Mom saved Grandma’s recipe, a family secret, on a large handwritten index card, yellowing and fading with age, in a manila folder in her kitchen cupboards. But she’s baked it so many times that she rarely pulls it down to consult the measurements anymore!

• 2 medium sized peaches, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon flour
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (see note below)
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Mix the above ingredients gently, until peaches are well covered, then divide evenly into 2 small (greased) baking dishes and set aside.

• In another small bowl, mix:
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons oats
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil)

Using a fork, mix the above ingredients until they are sort of clumpy, for lack of a better description (the butter pieces should be about the size of a small pea). Crumble lightly over the peaches.

Bake in preheated 375° oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Serve over ice cream or let it cool a little and top it with whipped cream.

NOTE: increase cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon if you like a strong cinnamon flavor.

ENJOY !!!
