Peach Crisp

Shauna

Crust:                                                              Topping:

1 cup flour                                                       1 ½ cups quick oatmeal

½ cup packed brown sugar                             ½ cup brown sugar

¼ tsp salt                                                         ¼ cup flour

½ cup butter or margarine                               5 tbsp. butter

Filling:

2 cans sliced peaches (16 oz each)

1 cup sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

Combine crust ingredients.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Pat into a greased 9” square dish.  Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 

Drain peaches and reserve juice in a medium saucepan.  Add sugar and cornstarch, bring to boil stirring constantly.  Boil for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Remove from heat, stir in peaches. 

Pour over crust.

For topping, combine oats, brown sugar and flour.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Sprinkle over filling and Bake 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

This recipe may be doubled!  I have also used bottled peaches, or fresh blueberries.   Try using apple juice for the liquid if using fresh fruit because it mixes in well, but doesn’t take over the flavor.

Serve warm with ice cream.  Leftovers are great for breakfast too.
