Peachy Craisin Crisp

Ready to mix the Topping!

Got Peaches? Got Craisins? Got Oats?  If you have these ingredients just waiting in the wings - bake a delicious juicy colorful Peachy Craisin Crisp!  This dessert is the perfect addition to the menu for this holiday weekend!  Everyone will enjoy it!  No need to roll out a pie crust, either!

Ever since our local Peaches have been available, I've purchased them weekly.  The sweet fruit is so good in a fruit salad.  Some mighty tasty Peach Freezer Jam can be enjoyed all year, also- that is until your supply runs out!  Every week we devour the ripened fruit & I purchase them again.  Not this past week.  I did buy them, but I had the sole intention to bake a Peachy Craisin Crisp!  It was the perfect dessert for my DH's b'day!  A cake can be baked any time of the year, but local fresh Peaches come only once a year here in New England!

This is a family fave dessert!  My 8" x 8" rose colored Pyrex baking dish was filled with Peach slices.  About 1/4 cup Craisins were sprinkled on top & mixed in with the slices.  After 45 minutes of baking it came out of the oven.  Yum, yum, yum! 

To remove the Peach skins easily:  With a spoon place Peach in simmering water (enough water to cover piece of fruit) for about 25 seconds.  With spoon remove from water & cool until easy to handle.  Peel fruit & cut into slices.
