Fresh Peach and Apple Crisp

Buying the most beautiful and perfect peaches deserves a photo 'prop'...don't you agree?
The reason that I'm featuring these gorgeous peaches is...we are in the midst of being able to get Georgia peaches here, in S. Florida and they are quite affordable at this time of the year, and also...organic as well.

Fruit crisps, are the easiest things are to make when you just want a quick dessert to serve with a scoop of ice cream, or just by itself...even, cold!
It looks like a 'ray of sunshine' all around the dish, made in my vintage pink Pyrex that used to belong to my mother from the sixties. I also have the matching bowl with it. Taking photos of it in the natural light with a 'ray of sunshine' also helps to feature this easy and yummy quick homemade dessert! The recipe is so very simple and easy, you just have to remember the basic equivalent measurement of everything ...except the butter.

I served this right out of the oven and the aroma with the apple, peach, cinnamon and brown sugar was totally incredible and intoxicating. Actually you have to wait at least 15 minutes for the fruit crisp to settle and the juices thicken as it cools, otherwise it gets so juicy...which is not a bad thing as long as the topping stays crunchy!

Topping it with your favorite ice cream really is scrumptious and heavenly!

After a few minutes, the ice cream starts to melt over the warm crisp and you'll also need a spoon with your for...better yet, just scoop up all the yummy goodness with your spoon!

Fresh Peach and Apple Crisp

1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Place fruit in a 10x6x2 inch baking dish, Sprinkle the flour mixture over the fruit, Bake in a 375 degree F. oven for about 45 minutes or until fruit liquid starts to bubble.
Serve warm over ice cream.

De szép barackok, ezekből isteni lehetett a morzsás süti:) A fotók most is csodaszépek:) Elisabeth, remélem jól vagy, minden rendben:) Puszi:)

Ezt mi is nagyon szeretjük, bármilyen gyümölccsel, de főleg ilyen csodás barackokkal. Mi ezt crumble-nak hívjuk, vagy az más? Nekem főleg azzal gombóc fagyival ízlene, nagyon finom, ahogy olvad meleg illatos gyümölcsökre. Szépek a fotók, úgy látom te meg az unokád sokat fotóztok együtt:)

Juliana said...

Elisabeth Foodandthrift said...

Erzsike, crisp és crumble...egy, és ugyanaz. Ki hogyan hivja. Az alap anyagja egyforma. Igazad van, a fagyival a leg finomabb melegen. Én és az unokalányom sokat fotózunk, de neki sokkal jobb gépje van!

Elisabeth Foodandthrift said...

Köszönöm Kati, szerettem volna több barackbol késziteni a morzsás sütit...de a barack annyire finom volt hogy amit számitottam a morzsás sütiben, felét meg ettem. Jó vagyok, kedves vagy hogy érdeklődsz! Puszillak

Thank you for all your kind comments...unusual, not to hear from my regular commenter friends. Everybody seems to be so busy with 'kids back in school'...people out of town, just about daily routines, and welcoming in the FALL season. Love the fall season, sad to say we are not having any of that in South Florida:( xo

Elisabeth, what an indulgent dessert! It looks so yummy especially with that scoop of ice-cream! I really wish I could have some right now, it would really cheer me up :)

Elisabeth Foodandthrift said...

at times a crisp is just what we needed to make comfort to ourselves and our days..and definately love that with ice cream!

Sissi said...

The crisp (or crumble as I would call it) looks fantastic, Elisabeth. I will go tomorrow and buy some nice peaches because peach crumble is my favourite.
Your weekend must have been amazing, judging from the photos.
(PS I'm sorry for coming here so late. I have been on long and very busy holidays).
