Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease a 9 x 9 x 2 inch casserole dish.
- Combine drained sliced peaches, peeled and sliced apples, vanilla, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
- Toss well and spread evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
- Combine flour and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Cut in margarine with a knife until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the fruit.
- Bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a handful of oats to the flour mixture for added texture. If you don't have brown sugar, white sugar can work in a pinch, though it will alter the flavor slightly. Ensure your fruit is well-drained to prevent a soggy crisp. For extra flavor, you might also add a pinch of nutmeg or lemon zest.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This Peach Apple Crisp pairs beautifully with Peggy'S Easy Punch, making it a perfect dessert for gatherings. Enjoy it as a standalone treat or alongside a light salad like Mabel'S Fruit Salad for a refreshing meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This will help restore some of the crispiness of the topping.
