Kitchen Crafts – Peach Crisp

Last week I started posting with Kiddie Crafts.  This week I’ll be starting up what I’ll call Kitchen Crafts.  Can you tell I’m feeling guilty?  Trying to spend more time with my kids and cooking for my family. 🙂  Anyway, I believe that there are two kinds of people in this world… cookers and bakers.  I am a baker, so don’t expect much from my dinner recipes.  Haha!  For those, I will mostly be trying other people’s recipes and telling you how it went.  Today though, lets start with what I know.  This is my absolute FAVORITE dessert recipe…Peach Crisp.  Normally I am not a big fan of fruit dessert, but this stuff is AMAZING and super easy to make!

This is my mom’s recipe.  Not sure where she got it from, but here it is:

Ingredients:
– 2 15 oz cans of peaches in syrup
– 1 1/3 cups sugar
– 2 eggs
– 2 1/2 cups of Bisquick
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 4 tbsp margarine or butter

Instructions:

1. Drain peaches, saving 1/2 cup syrup and place fruit in buttered 9″ x 13″ baking dish.  Stir in peach syrup and sprinkle on 2 tbsp of the sugar.
2. Beat eggs and combine with Bisquick, remaining sugar, and cinnamon.  Stir to a crumbly consistency.  Sprinkle over fruit and dot with margarine or butter.
3. Bake in 400° oven for 25-30 minutes (until butter is completely melted and top is browned)

For the visual learners:

1. Drain peaches, saving 1/2 cup syrup.  Make sure to get peaches in syrup.  The last couple times I made it with peaches in juice.  Didn’t taste nearly as good.

Place fruit in buttered 9″ x 13″ baking dish.  Stir in peach syrup and sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the sugar.

2. Beat eggs and combine with Bisquick, remaining sugar, and cinnamon.  We always have some of this on hand to make pancakes.

Stir to a crumbly consistency.  Should look like this.

Sprinkle over fruit and dot with margarine or butter.  (Just put little pieces of butter all over the top.)  It’s dessert… gotta have some butter!

3. Bake in 400° oven for 25-30 minutes (until butter is completely melted and top is browned)

Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a tall glass of milk!  Sometimes I even eat the leftovers for breakfast the next day.  I figure it’s about as healthy as pancakes, but maybe that just means we shouldn’t be eating pancakes. 🙂

P.S. – Recognize the cup? 🙂
