Peaches are in season right now big time and the other day as I was driving around town running errands I noticed that there was a roadside stand for fresh peaches from Colorado. I had to stop.
We used to have a peach tree in our backyard when I was growing up in California and I love fresh peaches. And one of my favorite desserts is peach crisp it just reminds me of home. My mom always made her peach crisp in the oven, but man that heats up the house! And who wants to do that when summer temps are soaring? So good ol’ trust crock-pot to the rescue!
Serve plain, hot, warm or cold. With whipped cream or ice cream. Yes…I think ice cream is in order.
I am sure you can modify this recipe to your hearts content too and use other seasonal produce. In fact I really want to do a cherry crisp but alas have had a hard time finding sour pie cherries in the grocery stores…maybe I will find some soon at a local roadside produce stand…we shall see!
