Easy Peach Crisp

  

 

 Ingredients:

 5 cups sliced, peeled peaches; or frozen unsweetened peach slices (I used fresh peaches) 

2 to 4 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup regular rolled oats

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ginger, or cinnamon (I always use cinnamon)

1/4 cup margarine or butter

1/4 cup chopped nuts or coconut

Vanilla ice cream or light cream (optional)

 

Directions:

For filling, thaw fruit if frozen.  Do not drain.  Place fruit in an 8x1 1/2 inch round baking dish.  Stir in sugar.

For topping, in a mixing bowl combine oats, brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg, ginger, or cinnamon.  Cut in margarine or butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in nuts or coconut.  Sprinkle topping over filling.

Bake in a 375 degrees oven for 30 to 35 minutes (40 minutes for thawed fruit) or till fruit is tender and topping is golden.  Serve warm with ice cream or light cream, if desired.  Serves 6
