Peach Crisp





This is my favortite summertime desert and is quick and easy and fun to impress friends with. I usually eye ball this recipe, especially with the spices, so make sure you taste test!



5-6 ripe peaches
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. oatmeal
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 c slivered almonds
1 tbs Disarrano (amaretto)
1/8 c. chopped basil (optional)



Heat oven to 350F. Slice peaches and place in pyrex pan. (You can choose to peel them, or leave the skins on to make it easier) Mix Disarrano and basil with peaches in the pan. Set aside.

Cut butter into flour until it forms small balls. If you don't have a pastry cutter, a knife and fork also work. Add oatmeal, brown sugar, almonds and spices and mix together. Pour topping onto peaches spreading evenly across pan. Cook at 350F for 45 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
