Easy Peach Crisp
The peaches have been so sweet and juicy this year and I can’t seem to get enough of them. There aren’t really words to describe a perfectly ripe peach and the ones that we bought here are knee-weakening. I whipped up this very simple crisp that allows the sweetness of the peaches to shine through. If your peaches aren’t that sweet, I would add a little extra sweetener with the peaches to compensate. I used maple sugar crystals as the sweetener, but if you can’t find that, you could use cane or turbinado sugar (or even maple syrup). Its best served with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
