Okay, I know that we passed peach season a few weeks ago but here in Oregon we had a bit of a late start to our summer weather so the peaches hung around a bit longer than than usual. The other day I was doing a bit of grocery shopping and I spotted some beautiful peaches at a great price and just couldn't pass them up. I decided to put my lovely peaches into a crisp.
Unfortunately, when I cut into the first peach, it was all brown and icky inside. Darn! Well, luckily I had a bag of mango chunks in the freezer so I decided to switch things up and use a combination of mango and peaches in my crisp. While I was at it, I tossed in a few dried cranberries as well.
I originally found this recipe over at 101 Cookbooks. The recipe called for a combination of plums and peaches.
Overall, I enjoyed this recipe. The topping wasn't crumbly enough for me. I think it was the addition of the yogurt I didn't really love. It's strange, I followed the directions for the crisp topping, yet mine looks nothing like the original. Hmmm. I'll have to give it another go I guess.
The first day I put a dollop of Greek yogurt on top and a dusting of nutmeg. The next day I tried it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Individual Mango Peach Crisp
recipe adapted from 101 Recipes
serves about 6
Fruit
2 cups ripe peaches, cut into bite sized pieces
2 cups fresh or frozen mango, cut into bite sized pieces
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup natural cane sugar
1 1/2 tbsp corn starch
Crisp
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (or a bit less)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
pinch of salt
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup Greek honey yogurt
Six 1/2 cup ramekins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place the fruit in a medium sized bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup sugar and the corn starch. Sprinkle over the fruit and toss gently. Evenly distribute fruit into the ramekins.
In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and nutmeg. Stir in the butter and yogurt. Spread an equal amount of crisp mixture over each ramekin of fruit.
Place the ramekins onto a baking sheet. Place into the oven on the middle rack and bake for 25-35 minutes until topping is golden.
Serve warm with a dollop of honey yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This crisp looks fabulous!!
This sounds wonderful, but our peach season is long gone. Individual crisps are so cute!
They sure do look great! I bet the improvisation with the mango was pretty tasty too :)
WOW this looks sooo yummiee!! I think we could still get some peaches here at this time of the year. :) I love your little cute pink bowl. Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
These are so cute! I like my topping on the crumbly side, too. This looks more cobbler-like.
I would love to dig into one cup too! THey look so good!
I'm with The Kitchen Witch. It does looks more like a cobbler. Oh well. :)
oh yummy!!
this looks amazing!!
Yummm! Love peaches and the crisp looks very good.
I Looooveee that these are individual sized. Doesn't everything taste better that way?
Mango filling sounds just perfect to me! My absolute favorite fruit.
kim i've missed you! this sounds so wonderful, what a great fall treat!
Ah love it!! I don't think I had myself some peaches this past summer. The seasons feel out of whack for some reason. Oh well...I think I'll bake me up some crisps this weekend.
This looks perfect, Kim! I miss peached already, lol!
Unexplicably, mangoes are on sale in MN right now - but alas and alck there are no more peaches. So jealous because oh that looks grand!
Looks fab! Lucky you, all we have are apples!
Wow, Kim, this crisp is gorgeous! You took such great photos, it belongs in Bon Appettit! I love peaches, I don't know why I have not cooked with them more!
Pretty, Kim! I think they look delicious, but I recently made a supposed crumble too that had more of a cake topping. It was good but not what I expected. It's funny how expectation can affect us humans;)
Oh, and I might try something like this-I have so much frozen mango in the freezer...
Kim, what a fantastic idea for a 'switch' from the peaches. I think I might like this version even more!
love individual crisps! perfect for my kitchen for one!
Ahhhhh... luv you for hanging onto peach season a little bit longer... This little crisp looks delicious!
Kim,
This looks delicious and nutritious. I love the healthy adaptations you made to your crust. My little sister loves mnago, so I may have to make these the next time she comes in town. Thank you for sharing!
Who cares if summer has passed - your mango peach crisp looks wonderful! Heck, we could always use frozen peaches, right?? Love the crumble topping!
This looks so incredibly delicious! How do you stay so trim, dear friend?? Oh, and Shaun Cassidy! Check out hulu.com and see if you can watch the Oprah show. I bet it's there! He was so charming and even sang- for the first time in public in 30 years.:) Lori
You can never have too many peaches, can you? And the addition of cranberries makes anything seasonal well into fall. This crisp looks tremendously yummy. I don't know if I can find peaches but pears might work well instead...
These look absolutely delicious!
I totally want a crisp now.
this looks so yummy... i love individual desserts..it's just lovely. thank you for sharing.
i'd totally go for the ice cream topping! I bet the mango was great with the cranberries and peaches. I'm sure you can adjust the topping and make it fabulous!
Your combination of fruits sounds fabulous! Love those individual desserts. :)
I really like the idea of mangos in this crisp. Love those individual servings. But, I might need a couple of individual servings!! LOL!
We still have lots of local peaches in our markets at rock bottom prices - so strange for being late in the year. Your crisp sounds completely divine! I like the individual servings!
Oh my God, this looks fantastic! Beautiful presentation. It sounds wonderful as well!
Cheers~
Super cute! I wonder if it would work without the yogurt.
Happy anniversary!
