I started out by waking up early on Saturday morning to walk to Polk's Market. It's a produce stand that I can literally see from my house. I bought about 13 peaches (10 for dessert and a few for Andrew to snack on, I'm honestly not the biggest peach fan myself) and then got to work.
I found a couple of different crisp recipes and kind of made things up as I went along. For the Filling, I settled on:
10 peaches
1 lemon, juiced and zested
6 tbs flour
1/2 c brown sugar
2 Tbs white sugar
1 Tbs vanilla
pinch of salt
I also remembered I froze quart sized freezer bags of blueberries when they went on sale a few weeks ago. I figured it would be a tasty combination and added them to the mix.
For the topping, I used:
1 1/4 c flour
1 1/2 c old fashioned oats
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c raw sugar (I had planned on using all brown sugar, but ran out)
1 stick butter (my topping didn't brown as much as I would have liked, so next time I would cut down on the amount of flour and add a little extra butter)
pinch of salt
2 or so Tbs of water to bring the mixture together.
I combined all ingredients and topped the filling, then baked at 350 until the filling was bubbly and the topping was browned. It ended up taking over a hour, just because it was a very large baking dish (I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but it is larger than a 9x13 inch pan).
Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but especially the Hubster, he had three servings.
