Peach Crisp

Yum!  That’s all I have to say.

4-5 peaches, sliced or two can peach slices, drained
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal (I use the quick-cooking kind.)
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup butter

Place peaches in a 9×9 baking dish. Mix everything else and drop onto peaches. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or whipped heavy cream sweetened with a bit of brown sugar.

Pear-Blueberry Variation:

3-4 very ripe unpeeled pears, cored and cut into 1/2″ pieces
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries

Substitute pears and blueberries for the peaches. If pears are very ripe, reduce brown sugar to 1 cup.

Blueberry Strawberry Variation:

I made this with over the 4th of July weekend with fresh blueberries and frozen strawberries, with a drizzle of plain half & half for serving and it was delicious. I skipped the cinnamon and added a teaspoon of vanilla.

Note that you can really add more fruit if you like – I would go with at least 5-6 cups of fruit in the pan, which you then top with the oatmeal mix. Even if it is really filling the pan, you should be fine.
