I thought a peach crisp sounded really good for today. I haven't made one in ages and since I had some very ripe peaches from farmer's market sitting on my counter staring at me every time I walked into the room I decided a better use them or lose them.
Unfortunately, I didn't have quite enough so I also threw in some peaches I had in my freezer.
I also had some frozen blueberries left so I decided it would be a yummy idea to throw those into the mix as well.
I thought the flavor was really quite wonderful in this but I have to tell you, it was a little runny. I think next time I will toss the fruit with some corn starch or flour. If anyone has a better secret to share, please let me know.
Ingredients
- 6 cups of peaches
- 1 cup of blueberries
- 2-3 tbsp of honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
Place the fruit in a greased baking pan. Top with oat mixture. Bake on 375 for 30-35 minutes until fruit is nice and bubbly and oats are golden brown.
Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or top with a little whip. Ooh, homemade cinnamon ice cream would be really great too!
I also couldn't resist showing off my sunflowers!!
I noticed the honeybees are all over these delightful flowers.
We originally planted three of these but did not put the seeds deep enough so two of them came crashing down. I'm praying this one stays put.
I am definitely planting more next year.

Your sunflowers are gorgeous! (The crisp is pretty too!) What is the name of your flowers, I am definitely planting some of those next year!
It may be runny but it really looks mouthwatering!!
The sunflower shots are lovely too!
I love this for a treat during the summer. It's so refreshing.
Your sunflowers look beautiful! I should find out if they grow here, they are so much fun to look at. The crisp looks great - I mean, how can you go wrong with fruit and crunchy toppings?
Another yummy treat! And yes, homemade cinnamon ice cream- too. Oh my! Love your sunflowers! We planted a variety of sunflowers this year so it's fun to see them bloom. You never know what kind they are until they open up.:) Lori
I can't wait for yummy fresh peaches to be at our farmer's market. The crisp looks delicious!
I love peaches and this is the time of year they are at their peak. This is a perfect way to use them.

The peach and blueberry crisp looks fantastic! So do your sunflowers. Someone gave me some sunflower seeds to plant and I forgot about them. Wish I'd remembered.
pretty flowers and i love anything when it has peaches involved!
Bees are good!
Oh, and thank you for this great recipe for a peach dessert. I kid you not, only moments ago, I was staring at the peaches on my counter wondering what I should do with them today.
Problem solved!

What cheery flowers. Lucky lady!
Hi Kim - Your crisp looks delicious. I prefer it nice and juicy but do use flour if I want to thicken it a bit.
My neighbor recommends potato starch so I'm going to try that next time. I'll let you know. Bob's Red Mill carries it.
The sunflowers a beutiful. Sorry that you lost two of them.
Your crisp looks absolutely delicious. Your sunflowers are food for the soul. Have a wonderful day.
I could go for a big helping of that crisp with a big scoop of ice cream. Your pictures got my juices flowing! Love the sunflowers. :)
Sounds delicious!!!!! I ca't wait for local peaches:D
Those sunflowers are gorgeous. Thank heavens they're growing in your garden and not mine! And good for you for helping out those sweet little honey bees. They do need our help!!
Peach and blueberry crisp: yummy! I was visiting family over the weekend and there were sunflowers in the neighbor's yard. I also saw a couple honeybees clinging to each flower. Cool photos!
From what I've seen the key to thicker pie filling is to add some flour before putting it in the oven. Not that I have any real experience with that lol. It sure looks good!
How happy and sunny those flowers are! And that crisp! YUM!
What gorgeous sunflowers! Mine are still itty bitty things. The peach and blueberry crisp looks so yummy - love the oat topping!
This is my favorite summer time dessert!!!It looks soooooooooooooooooooooo good.Figtreeapps
I love your crips! Great combination of flavors.
And your sunflowers are gorgeous!
The peach crisp looks and sounds so good. I like the idea of tossing in the blueberries with it. I could have a big ole scoop of that no problem! YUM
Glad to see you are "feeding the bees." We are having a bee crisis and, mysteriously, bees are dieing off, which will eventually affect our nation's food supplies as they are pollinators. So, I've taken to planting more flowers in my yard in hopes of feeding the bees because as you said, bees are good!
Your sunflowers are beautiful. Are they the kind of sunflower that you can save the seeds for harvesting?
I just love bee pictures and the sunflowers are gorgeous. I wouldn't mind a bite of that Crisp either! The tastes of summer are so amazing.
Oh that looks so good - I just bookmarked this page so I can make it later.
