Here's another great fresh peach recipe for those of you enjoying the fruitfulness of the southeast right now. It is so great served right out of the oven with a little vanilla ice cream on the side. This original blueberry crisp recipe comes courtesy of my mother-in-law. This version serves 3, maybe 4, but can easily be doubled.
Peach Crisp A La Mode
3-4 large peaches, peeled and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c flour
1/2 stick butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
Stir dry ingredients together. Cut in cold butter (I usually use a potato masher or you can use 2 knives). Place diced peaches into bottom of a 8x8 baking dish. Dash with lemon juice. Sprinkle crumb mixture over top of peaches. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
Many of you may not know that the state that ships out the most fresh peaches each year is not the Peach State but...South Carolina! It's so great to be able to buy fresh peaches right down the road. This is a delicious recipe for a fresh peach bread that really tastes a lot like peach cobbler! You can serve as breakfast or dessert. It smells amazing while baking!
Fresh Peach Cobbler Bread
1/4 c butter, softened
3/4 c sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 c vanilla yogurt (I used Dannon Light & Fit)
2-3 peaches, peeled and diced
1 peach, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Soften butter, then add sugar. Beat with hand mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Stir in yogurt and diced peaches. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the wet mixture, stirring until blended. Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Place peach slices across the top of the batter. Bake for 40 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.
