‍‍Summertime has me craving peaches. Like woah. And right now, we are nearing the end of peak season. If you haven't made it yet, find a local market and get picking! Nothing better than a basket of freshly picked peaches.

They are terrific raw, grilled, baked, sautéed, cobbled, chopped in a salad, or even sitting atop a pizza. No, seriously!?! 

‍Since it's one of my favorites, this peach crisp was my first stop. Just a few simple ingredients- quickly turns into a sweet, end-of-summer treat. Then, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Or both! Who's watching?!?

Fruit Crisp Tips

Crisp is my favorite way to bake with fresh fruit. You can really let the natural flavor of the fruit shine. Too many people over do it Fruit is naturally sweet. Also, pies with two layers of crust don't even make sense to me anymore. Why?!? A sweet streusel topping sounds so much better!

• Best with fresh fruit, but canned or frozen works in a pinch!
• Best served warm, but delicious in any form.
• Make some for a friend- they freeze well.

How to Make a Crisp Topping

At this point, I consider crisp topping and streusel to be pretty much the same thing. Start with sugar, flour, and oats. Then, work in some cold butter. SO simple, yet it adds dimension, texture, and flavor. It has stood the test of time for a reason!
