Peach Crisp -- Formerly, Apple Crisp.

This recipe is great because it comes together quickly, then bakes for 30 minutes making it convenient to have in the oven while you're eating dinner. Then you get to pull a delicious hot dessert from the oven at the perfect time.

Here's MY version of the recipe:


Ingredients:

 2 cans    sliced peaches
3/4 cup   brown sugar
1/3 cup   coconut oil (or butter)
1/2 cup   old fashioned oats
1/4 cup   flour (or whole wheat flour)
1/4 cup   wheat germ
1 tsp.      ground cinnamon


The first thing I do is open the peaches and start them draining. They need to be drained REALLY well so I let them sit like this as I prepare the topping.
Add all the other ingredients to a bowl and combine until you have a crumbly mixture.
 Grease an 8X8 baking dish OR use an oven bag (like I do). Learn about it here.




Place drained peaches in pan in an even-ish layer. Then sprinkle the topping over the peaches--try to cover everything.
Bake for 30 minutes in a 375° oven. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Note: I use half flour and half wheat germ just to make it "healthier". The original recipe called for 1/2 cup flour. 

**This is a good recipe to use if you're using your food storage. Canned fruit works beautifully as well as dehydrated apples.
