August is upon us and there is something sweet in the air. Poppy has taken to calling me Peachy Puff and dressing up in the silliest combos of things. So, when I walked into work on Monday morning and discovered a huge bowl of organic peaches from my coworker, Jess, I knew I needed to make something sweet, like our little peach of a kid.
I looked at the Real Simple website and found a quick and easy recipe for Peach Crisp.
Poppy and I will be whipping this up after school today and topping it with some vanilla bean ice cream. Yum!
Peach Crisp
5 pounds peaches (about 12), each cut into 8 wedges
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
Directions
- Heat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, toss the peaches, granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the flour. Transfer to a shallow 3-quart baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, and the remaining 3/4 cup of flour. Using your fingers, incorporate the butter until coarse crumbs form. Mix in the oats and almonds.
- Squeeze the topping into marble-size clumps and sprinkle on the peaches. Bake until the top is golden and the fruit is tender, 45 to 55 minutes.
Happy Baking from Peachy Puff!
