Fresh Peach Crisp Recipe

Prep Time (including boiling the water 40 minutes.  Baking Time 45 minutes)

Filling Ingredients:

• 10 medium fresh peaches (about 8 cups of sliced peaches)
• 2 Tablespoons, flour
• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (can use 1/3 cup or more if you like it sweeter!)

Topping Ingredients:

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 cup oats (either quick cook or regular oatmeal will work)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350'F.  And prepare the peaches to be skinned by placing a large pot of water to boil, and prepping a large bowl of ice water.  While you are waiting for the water to boil, combine all of the topping ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.

When the water starts to boil, place about 5 peaches at a time in the boiling water using a slotted spoon.  Allow the peaches to stay in the water for about 1-2 minutes.  Then quickly transfer them into the bowl of ice water using the slotted spoon.  Allow them to sit in the cold water for about 1 minute, then drain and prepare a new bowl of ice water. Repeat with the rest of the peaches.

Once the peaches have been prepped, use a paring knife to pull away the skin, and cut the peaches into sections by cutting wedges off from the pit.  Each peach should be cut into about 8-10 sections and placed in a large bowl.  Once all the peaches have been skinned and cut, mix the rest of the filling ingredients in a small cup and stir into the peaches. 

Transfer the peaches into a 9x13" pan and crumble the topping mixture evenly over the peaches.  Bake at 350'F for 40-45 minutes or until the peaches are bubbly.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
