I needed to make a dessert for company recently and I knew I wanted something sort of summery, but warm since evenings are still cool here.  Wasn’t in the mood for cake, pie or the Chocolate-Banana Muffin Cakes I always make.  I decided a peach crisp was definitely in order since peaches are abundant and delicious right now.  Unfortunately, most recipes for any kind of crisp are laden with sugar and butter. This version does contain some Earth Balance, so it’s best for special occasions, but it’s definitely less fattening than standard recipes – and every bit as good!

Units:MetricUS Imperial

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Peel and slice peaches. To make peeling easier, drop whole peaches in to very hot water for 2 minutes. Peel should rub right off once removed from water.
3. In medium bowl combine peaches, cornstarch, maple syrup and lemon juice. Stir until combined and peaches are evenly coated.
4. Combine flour, oats, sugar, margarine, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and salt in small bowl. Stir until combined and crumbly.
5. Place peaches in 8x8 baking dish, lightly coated with cooking spray. Evenly distribute topping over peaches and bake 40 minutes until crust browned and peaches are bubbling.
6. Serve warm with a small scoop of non-dairy ice cream. Almond Dream Vanilla is pictured, and my favorite.
