This is my entry for this week's @foodfightfriday challenge.

It may not be quite the show-stopper in appearance, but what it doesn't have in looks it definitely has in taste! What better way to use up a surplus of peaches??? (Or other fruit...)

This is another case where I was looking at two separate recipes to put together what I wanted in mine.

Peach Crisp

Preheat the oven to 425F/210C.

I start off making the topping.

1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup plus 2 Tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes.
(If you're using 250g blocks of butter, cut it in half, then use 3/4 of one half for this recipe.)

It looks like I was using almond flour for this recipe as I was (at the time) beginning my road back onto a low-carb diet to try to regain my health. I reduced the amount of sugar from 3/4 c to 1/2 c.

Rather than "mixing" this mixture, I'm using a pastry blender which makes cutting butter into a mixture a very simple task.

I love my pastry blender - it comprises four or five curved blades (as sharp as a good table knife) and a handle. It's easier than the "two knives" solution that British recipe books ask for. It's worth finding one if you like to make this kind of recipe.

Next, I slice my peaches. I didn't really measure them, just filled my square pan about halfway with them. One of the recipes I was looking at figured 2 lbs, or about 5 peaches, but let the pan be your guide. Better to have too many slices than too few. (If they are under-ripe, then maybe sprinkle a bit of sugar on them, but you probably won't need that.)

Then, I sprinkle the topping over the peaches.

Bake the crisp for 20-25 minutes.

Hmmm, yum! I like to pour heavy cream over it, like one might do in England. You could use whipped cream or just eat it as is. It's amazing!

Feel free to print them out and use them in your cookbook. I'd love to see pictures of your version of this recipe! If you want to make it more low-carb or Keto, go ahead and show me your result!
