Peach Crisp (Light)

coconutty's Note:

Adapted from an old newspaper clipping and posted here for safekeeping. This is a light, "guilt free" version of peach crisp. Next time I make this, I want to try sweetening the peaches with agave nectar but would still use brown sugar in the topping.

Good, easy dessert. made it in a 13x9 pan so i had to double the topping. next time i'll use a smaller, deeper pan.

Delicious, hard to believe it is light! When I first looked at the recipe, I was worried about the smaller amount of topping than I'd normally use - but no need to worry, it was perfect. The brown sugar in the topping is what really makes it special. It makes a lovely layer of sweetness on top of the peaches. I served with with fat free cool whip, yummy!
