Late Summer Peach Crisp

The best part of summer (and yes, it’s still summer until September 21) is fruit.  Well, maybe not the best part.  The BEST part is the beach, and the feeling of grass beneath your feet, and the smell of sunblock.  Fruit is a close fourth, though.

With an overload of picked peaches, I made a crisp that is easy and quick.

Ingredients:
8 fresh or previously frozen peaches, sliced
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup oats
1/2 butter, melted
1/2 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

Combine peaches, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp. cinnamon in bowl and let sit (the longer it sits, the tastier it will be).  In another bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon, oats, butter, and flour and hand toss to create a crumbly consistency.  Mix in Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Place peaches in a baking dish and cover with crumb topping.  Bake covered for 40 minutes at 400, then remove cover and bake for additional 20 minutes.
