Peach Crisp

So I made this peach crisp tonight and it was a semi fail. I learned that next time I should use peaches that are a not still slightly green and not to make the peach filling the night before. The peaches tasted like celery which was totally weird but this has the potential to be really yummy. This would also be very good with berries or apples instead of the peaches.

Ingredients

5 whole To 6 Whole Fresh Peaches (best When Not Overly Ripe Or Soft but definitely not still partially green, lol)
Grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 cup Flour
½ cups Sugar
½ cups Light Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
¼ teaspoons Salt
1 stick Butter (1/2 Cup)
Grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon


Preparation Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt using a fork or pastry cutter. Cut butter into small pieces and gradually add to flour mixture until evenly mixed.

Peel and slice peaches into a bowl. Add the zest from half a lemon. Squeeze juice from lemon half and stir in with peaches and zest. Add 2 tablespoons real maple syrup to peaches, stir well.

Pour peach mixture into a small pan (8” or 9” square) and cover evenly with crumb topping. Cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until crisp and brown on top.
