THE ULTIMATE BLUEBERRY CRISP

This is the Mother of all Crisps!! Nope, it’s not Tasty Tuesday but there was no way I could not share my favorite new fruit dessert recipe of the sweet Summa! 

 I make a good Harvest Spice Peach Crisp and an apple one in the Fall but this Ultimate Blueberry Crisp had me so in love that I made this a couple times. I think the key was the instant tapioca and the hint of orange juice. The fam went crazy for this. I think yours might too. Warm from the oven will have them all hovering over the pan! 
Yum  

Just look at that melty HEAVEN in a dish!

BLUEBERRY PEACH CRUMBLE

Mmmm, blueberries, and peaches.... 2 of my favorite things to get at our local fruit stand in the Summer. I often make a fruit crisp with peaches called Harvest Spice Peach Crisp but never have I combined these two marvelous fruits together. The red haven peach crop is at it's peak here right now and something about a juicy peach makes me so happy.

Am I ever tickled I mixed these two fruits because the taste explosion was fantastic. With the brown sugary butter topping and a hint of salt; sooo good! Add a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream and you will be in Summer dessert heaven. 

I know my family was!! Me too!!
  Yum

Just look at that melty goodness...get in my mouth now crumble!!

HARVEST SPICE PEACH CRISP

Ahhh, juicy fresh peaches mixed with a crispy blend of brown sugar, oats and spices. Fresh from the oven with or without a little vanilla ice cream, it's the start of a great tasting Fall and the end of a splendid Summer! I have loved fruit crisps all my life. My mom and son's favorite is apple, but mine has always been peach. I think my sweet husband would eat about any dessert I bake with Love. I really like to mix a few fresh peaches in with cans of Del-Monte's Harvest Spice peaches. 
Yum

So, So GOOD!

If y'all have baked a crisp before you know that it smells delightful baking in the oven. With the cans of Harvest Spice, (which are the BEST canned peaches I've ever had) you can make this year round but since I have fresh, local Red Haven peaches, August and September are my favorite months to make this satisfying Peach Crisp.

HARVEST SPICE PEACH CRISP

Ingredients

2-3 large peaches, peeled and sliced

2 cans Harvest Spiced Peaches, drained slightly

2/3 cups rolling oats

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

6 Tablespoons stick butter 

Directions

 Preheat oven to 375 degrees

 For the fruit filling, place the peeled and sliced peaches, along with cans of drained peaches in a 2-qt baking dish. Stir in the granulated sugar.

For topping, in a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the fruit filling.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until fruit is tender and topping is golden. If desired, serve with ice cream. 

We had this for dessert after an awesome Summer Sunday meal of burgers, fresh green beans with bacon, corn on the cob and Rally Fries. So tasty! 

A question brewing that Sunday in our teen's minds: What is the difference between cobbler and a crisp?? Love it when they ask me cooking and baking questions! Ha!
