Peach or Apple Crisp

Peach Crisp

Topping:

1 cup cold butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 - 1 1/2 cup oatmeal (I do old-fashioned)

1 cup flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Mix brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, baking powder, and cinnamon.  Cut in the butter and mix until the butter is crumbly.  

Pour 2 quarts peaches (not the juice) into bottom of 9x13 pan. I like to cut the peaches into bite sized pieces, but it's all preference. Sprinkle the topping over all.  Bake at 375 degrees 25-35 minutes or unil golden brown.  This is excellent with fresh peaches instead of canned, and needs ice cream or cool whip.  

Notes:

*This is also great with apple pie filling or fresh apples.  If  using fresh apples, use 6-8 peeled and sliced apples.  Sprinnkle apples with 1/2 c. sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. cinnamon.  

*For smaller quanitity, make 1/2 of the topping and bake in a 9"x9" pan.
