Peach Crisp

Submitted by Sweet Diva MJ

"I love peaches, so I naturally like this! You may want to double the amount of peaches. I actually stock up on fresh peaches from the farm when visitng relatives while they are in season and freeze them - I rarely use canned. I am submitting the original recipe, however as I know many do not have access to peach farms! This crisp has a bottom crust and a crumbly, oat-y topping....Good warm with or without ice cream and cold."

YUM! This was fantastic! I used a 29 oz. can of peaches, but would probably use even more next time! The double crust was perfect!!

Delicious! We loved this peach crisp. The combination of a bottom crust and a top crust made this sweet, rich, and oh-so yummy! I used 6 fresh peaches instead of the canned peaches. Also, because I didn't have the extra juice that canned peaches would have, I added 1/2 cup Kern's peach nectar to the fresh peach juice. I baked this in a 7x11" baking dish for 25 minutes. My family loved this and gave it 2-thumbs up. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!! *Made for AUS/NZ recipe swap*

Have to agree with the other reviews was not enough peaches for us also! The crust and topping was awesome. Will make again and add more peaches! Thanks for the recipe!

My family and I thought this recipe was very good but could have used a bit more peaches. To compensate, I threw a handful of fresh raspberries into the middle layer before topping with the oat layer. I think next time I'll use fresh peaches instead of canned and season with a bit of nutmeg or cinnamon. I did enjoy the crispy bottom crust and top oat layer--very crunchy and just the right amount of sweetness. I think I'll try using the bottom and top layers with other fillings like apple or cherry. Thank you for a delicious dessert!

We really enjoyed this recipe! Different than most crisps. Didn't have enough peaches for me though~will add more for the next one, or combine with blueberries. Thank you for sharing!
