Warm Summer Night Peach Crisp

Let me start by stressing how long and impatient I have been for peach season to start. I've been waiting and waiting and bugging the Whole Foods staff and finally, my wish came true today. If you've noticed from my previous posts, I like to find things in my kitchen to cook with. Example: No almonds? How about walnuts instead. Improvising like a bad ass. Anyways, I put together this super easy recipe, and used Mason Jars! If you haven't made any of my recipes, make this one. Seriously, it's that good. 

Ingredients: 

( Makes 6 mason jars)

Filling:

6 Peaches 

1/3 cup raw cane sugar

3 Tbsp All-Purpose flour

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 lemon + zest

Topping:

3/4 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup raw cane sugar

1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts

1 stick of butter ( melted)

1 tbsp water

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350F

2. Wash and peel peaches. Chop into bite size pieces. ( that rhymed)

3.Add the rest of the filling ingredients, mix and set aside. ( that didn't)

4. In a separate bowl, mix all topping ingredients together.

5. First mix with a fork and then use your hands to create crumbles.

6. Fill Mason jars 3/4 up with filling then add the crumble topping.

7. Once all mason jars are filled, place in oven for 25 minutes. 

8. Broil for 2 minutes on high, take out and let rest for at least 15 minutes ( I know its hard).

9. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

Note: I used half pint wide mouth mason jars. Very easy to find, and so useful! 

Ps. I froze 3 out of 6 of the jar pies, unbaked, to enjoy later!

Cheers,
