This past weekend%u00a0was the annual Stem family reunion and I had signed up to bring%u00a0a dessert to the circus,%u00a0(circus being an event with lots of my family) %u00a0I went out of my way to get the nieces, sweetest, most delicoius peaches and%u00a0%u00a0was planning%u00a0on making them%u00a0into some type of epic peachy peach cake,%u00a0but being that the weekend turned into a shit storm, I didn’t get a chance to make that epic peach cake. So come Sunday morning, a few hours before we were suppose%u00a0to leave for the reunion,%u00a0I was deesertless.%u00a0
So I did what anyone that has a bunch of the fruit, little time, and doesn’t want to make a big mess should do.%u00a0I made a crisp. %u00a0
And it was good. Gooey sweet and %u00a0cardamon%u00a0spiced%u00a0peaches under a slightly sweet, oatie topping. A perfect dessert for a late summer afternoon. Served warm or at room tepature, add a little whipped cream or ice cream and a cup of coffee. Dessert time is perfect. And any left over makes for a fantastic breakfast treat%u2026.or just make it%u00a0for breakfast, it’s totally a breakfast food too.%u00a0
%u00a0I am almost glad that I didn’t get a chance to make that cake.(although I really wanted to make a cake, just for shits and giggles) I’ll just make one later. But until then.
To%u00a0the crisp!
The Stuff. %u00a0Peaches of course and some old fashion rolled oats and a pinch of salt%u00a0mixed with gluten free flour*. Some earth balance*, honey*, cardamon and cinnamon and a tiny bit or arrowroot powder%u00a0
Notes.. You can totally use regular all purpose flour in place of gluten free. Also can sub regular butter for the%u00a0earth balance and use maple syrup instead of honey..%u00a0
In a bowl, mix/mush%u00a0 together the oats, flour, honey, half the cardamon%u00a0and cinnamon,%u00a0and earth balance.%u00a0The mixture is going to be a little gloppy and wet, but that’s how%u00a0you want it to be.
Toss the other half of the spices into the peaches with a bit of arrowroot powder or corn starch and mix all around.%u00a0
If you peaches are not super yummy sweet, you can always drizzle in a little extra honey or maple%u00a0here too.
Now place the peaches in a well greased oven safe skillet.
Distribute%u00a0the topping all over.%u00a0
And into the oven it goes..
After about 45 minutes, check for doneness.%u00a0When top is all golden brown and nice%u2026 you are there!
. Ooey gooey peaches%u00a0underneath all that golden crispy goodness%u2026.
Nailed it!
Have great day you guys! Crisp away!
