A tasty summer crisp

With just a month of summer left, I wanted to share this recipe I found for Raspberry Peach Crisp!


The ingredients are really simple, and I bet you have most of them in your cupboard right now. Paired with a few seasonal fruits, this crisp is a perfect dessert on a warm, summer night!


When I made this, I started by slicing the peaches before adding the raspberries, lemon juice and vanilla.


After a quick stir, I poured it into an 8"x8" pan that I had greased.


In a different bowl, I mixed together all of the dry ingredients. And in yet another bowl, I added some almond extract to an egg and beat it. (It's recipes like this that make me long for a dishwasher.) Then I poured the egg mixture into the dry ingredients...


And stirred it until it was crumbly. When I was happy with the texture, I sprinkled it on top of the raspberries and peaches, making sure that everything was covered.


Then, per the recipe, I poured melted butter over the top of everything in the pan.


It looked pretty odd before I placed it in the oven...


But about thirty minutes later, it looked scrumptious!


Don't you agree?


When the crisp had cooled a bit, I spooned it into a bowl and dug in... and it was super yummy!


If you'd like to whip this up before the summer ends, here's the recipe:

Raspberry Peach Crisp

Ingredients:
2 peaches, sliced
1/2 pint of raspberries
Juice of half a lemon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup flour
3/4 cups sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 egg
6 tbsp. butter

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 3775 degrees. Combine peaches, raspberries, lemon juice, and vanilla before placing in a 8x8 baking pan that has been greased. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, beat egg and add along extract. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle flour mixture over fruit and drizzle with butter. Bake around 3 minutes, or until top is golden. Serve alone, over ice cream, or with Greek yogurt.


Oh- and while the crisp is delicious alone, it's also especially good with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt!
