Ingredients
Crisp Topping
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 cup butter, (2 sticks)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°
Crisp Topping
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour and brown sugar.
- Add 1 cup of butter and mix on low speed until crumbly, then add chopped pecans. Stir. Set aside.
Peach Filling
- In a small bowl, whisk sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon together and set aside.
- Peel and slice peaches. Add to a large bowl.
- Add sugar mixture into peaches and stir until peaches are coated well.
- Pour peach mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or a 3 quart baking dish.
- Add the flour mixture on top of peaches and spread evenly.
- Bake uncovered at 400° for 45-55 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Notes
- To check whether the butter is room temperature, gently press on the butter with a finger - it should make an indent on the butter and your finger should not be greasy.
- If the peaches aren’t ripe yet, put them in a brown paper bag for 1-2 days to quicken the ripening process.
- It’s near irresistible to dig a few minutes after you hear the ding of the oven, but I recommend training those self control muscles a little more. The reward is that the crisp cools better and the juicy filling sets up better.
