Luscious peach crisp is one of the nicest ways to use fresh peaches in season.

The base is simple, just fresh peaches with a bit of lemon juice to keep them from changing color.

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
8 peaches
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Topping:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Peel and slice the peaches (see note below to peel peaches easily). Place the sliced peaches in an 8" square or round baking dish and sprinkle them with lemon juice.

Combine the topping ingredients and mix until crumbly. Press gently over the fruit and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the fruit is tender and top has browned.

Makes 8 servings.

• If the peaches are not sweet add a bit of brown sugar to the peaches as well. If they are sweet you don't need it.

• To easily take the peel off the peaches, put a small cut in the bottom of each peach. Blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Lift them out and put into cold water immediately. The skins should peel off easily with a small knife.
