Peach & Apple Crisp
Peach & Apple Crisp combines sliced peaches and tart Granny Smith apples tossed with water, balsamic vinegar, and whole-wheat flour, topped with a crisp oat and butter topping seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and peppercorn blend. Baking creates a bubbling fruit filling beneath a buttery, spiced crust, ideal for serving warm with ice cream or custard.
Ingredients
Filling
- 4 peaches
- 3 apple Granny Smith variety
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Crisp
- 2 cups oats quick-cooking
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- allspice
- cloves
- peppercorn blend
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the filling, being sure to toss the apples as you cut them with the water/vinegar mixture to prevent them from oxidizing.
- Place in a baking dish.
- Combine the dry ingredients for the topping, and then rub the softened butter in by hand.
- Once combined evenly, spread over the crisp so that it will act as a ‘lid’ of sorts, trapping the heat and steam, and allowing the oven’s heat to do its magic.
- Bake at 190° C (375° F) for 45 minutes (of course times will vary according to individual stoves) or until you see the bubbling goodness oozing from the edges of the crisp.
- Cool the crisp on the stovetop until it won’t burn your tongue, and serve with ice cream, crème anglaise or any sides of your choice.
