Absolutely delicious! I used 6 large peaches and 1 apple (apple very thinly sliced so that it would cook within time allotted). I used an apricot-orange-peach juice for all 4 tbsp, and I made a little extra topping and baked in an 8 x 13 glass dish. The pecans really add a little something extra to the recipe. Try it!

Excellent!!! I used fresh peeled peaches and no apples. I used all orange juice and left out the ginger since my kids do not like the flavor. The topping is what makes this!!! Thanks for sharing!

Yum Yummy! I had some peaches I had to use up, and some good looking Granny Smiths, so decided to look for a crisp or cobbler using both. When I saw this one I was so excited! I used apple juice in place of the apricot nectar, but other than that, followed the directions. This was a mouth watering crisp recipe Mel! It really filled the craving I was having for a fall time dessert, and we will have it again, as it was easy to make and the results were excellent! I topped ours with some peach ice cream to make it a great ending to our Sunday dinner!

Great twist on fruit crisp! I used one bag of frozen peach slices and two Gala apples. I kept the nuts in big pieces as one reviewer suggested and they were wonderful with the topping melted over them. I used all orange juice and it was fine. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

I wanted something rather than the peach cobbler we usually do and I didn't want a peach pie (too rich for today!). I made this recipe but cut down the sugar in the peaches since I used a 29 ounce can in light syrup, drained. I also cut down the sugar a little in the topping and the butter to about 4 tablespoons. Mmmmm! Some of the pecans were left in larger pieces and they made a candied topping. Served with a little scoop of low fat "double churned" ice cream. Doesn't end up being too healthy (it's not steamed green beans by any stretch of the imagination) but not too devestatingly rich either!
