Peach Crisp



Our local feed store makes a trip to Southeastern Missouri every year and brings back a tractor trailer full of these wonderful peaches, watermelon and cantaloupe.. Yesterday was peach day at the feed store.  It has become a social event with a steady stream of pick up trucks lined up for their peaches and everyone catching up with each others live's.  Lots and lots of very happy peachy people.

This box had my name on it!

These babies are teasing me!


Aren't they glorious?


So sweet and juicy... I couldn't wait to get them cooking!

Peach Crisp
6 to 8 peaches pealed and sliced
3/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats
 3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Arrange peaches in 8" to 9" round pan.  Combine oats, sugar, flour, nuts and cinnamon: cut into butter.  Sprinkle mixture over peaches.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.  (until crisp fruit is boiling).  
Checking the left overs this morning, there is a ton of excess juice.  The answer to that problem is eat it all!
Serve warm with whipped cream if desired.
I made brown sugar flavored whipped cream.



I took this picture this morning with the left over whipped cream.  It has softened a bunch...
