Easy Peach Crisp

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cans peaches
• 1 package oats
• 1 container cinnamon
• 1 package brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch

SUGGESTED ADD-INS

• vanilla extract
• cardamom
• butter for the topping
• fresh fruit or dried fruit – like cherries, plums, or nectarines

Prepare your ingredients:

1. Open the two cans of peaches
   1. Drain the liquid from the cans, saving about 2 tbsp
2. Measure ½ cup of oats
3. Measure ¼ cup of brown sugar
4. Measure 1 teaspoon cinnamon, separate into two ½ teaspoons
5. Measure 1 tbsp cornstarch
6. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F

Prepare the crisp:

1. 1. Grease a 8 x 8 pan (or a pan of similar size)
   2. In the greased pan:
      1. Add the peaches, cornstarch, a ½ tsp of cinnamon and the 2 tbsp of reserved juice
      2. Toss the ingredients together until the peaches are coated and all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
   3. In a separate bowl, make the crumble topping
      1. Add the oats, the remaining cinnamon and the brown sugar to the bowl
      2. Mix well, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar
   4. Sprinkle the oat topping over the peaches, making an even layer.

Bake for 30-45 minutes:

1. The peach juices around the edges should be bubbling and the topping should turn a golden brown when the dessert is finished

2. Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes before serving. This step is important so the peach filling can thicken into a delicious dessert.
