What to do with too much fresh picked fruit? How about an easy crisp! Great for fruit that have a gone a little too ripe for brown-bagging. I don’t bake very well, so this is all from my girlfriend. As long as you have the ingredients, it’s basically mix and and pour .

Ingredients:

• 2-3 large fresh peaches cut into slices
• 1 cup blueberries
• ½ cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup quick oats
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix flour, oats, baking powder, in a medium bowl.
3. Mix butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together.
4. Stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Work mixture through your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs (small pea size).
5. Layer blueberries and peach slices intoa 9X11 inch baking dish.
6. Sprinkle with topping mixture.
7. Bake until topping turns golden and juices are bubbling, around 45 mins. Let cool.

Serving Suggestion: Vanilla Ice Cream (either Haagen-Daaz or whatever’s on sale)

Cost:
I think the peaches were $1/pound and I forgot how much the blueberries costs. Probably like $3 of fruit in there. The rest of the ingredients we had around the house, and I don’t think any of them are very exotic. Probably the ice cream cost more than the ingredients.

Final comments:
This is actually very simple, although I didn’t make it. I would’ve probably burnt it or something. Either way, hot fruit crisp with cold ice cream is divine. What’s the difference between a crisp and a cobbler anyways?
