Easy Old Fashioned Peach Streusel

Larkabug's Note:

I remember Mom making this for dessert when I was a child. I think she got the recipe from an old magazine. It's so easy and economical too! I'm glad to share it since the clipping is falling apart! (This is my first posting!!)

This was a very easy and tasty dish. DH went back for more and there wasn't any left! It is a must to serve warm. Thanks for posting.

This is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made from Recipezaar. The instructions are clear and easy to read and the finished product is very very tasty served warm. Being a single mom, I like things inexpensive and this fit the bill. (no pun intended). Thanks for a nice finish to our dinner.
