Recipe | August Peach Crisp
There’s not much that tastes better in August than a sweet, delicious, homemade peach crisp. It’s like an ode to the passing summer season and a big ol’ welcome to the upcoming autumn season. Even better… is it is so easy and quick to whip up! You probably already have the ingredients in your pantry.
I made this for dessert one evening when it had stormed all day long and the house felt like fall. We had our beeswax candles lit and baking seemed like the right thing to do. I even whipped up some fresh whipped cream (I shared it in the recipe) to garnish the top and make it feel extra special.
Since it was received well by every member in my family, I decided it was well worth sharing with you all. I imagine it could easily be replicated with fresh fall apples and be just as delicious.
