Someone asked me recently how I find the time to keep up with this blog. Things are rather hectic lately and I was planning to write about all the things I have to do, but then I realized that I don’t have time for that kind of idle chatter. I do have time enough to tell you though that this recipe is probably one of my favorites of all that I’ve posted because I just easily threw the darn stuff together and I was blown away by how good it was. Don’t let the lackluster picture or ease of preparation fool you – this is good stuff!
mmm, crispy and peachy
Time Crunch Peach Crisp
- 2 peaches chopped
- 2 T granulated sugar
- 2 T amaretto
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup Grapenuts cereal
- 10 dried dates
- 1 T almond oil
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1 T Earth Balance margarine, melted
- Mix peaches with granulated sugar and amaretto and put aside to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Combine almonds, Grapenuts and dates in a food processor and process into small crumbs.
- With the food processor motor running add the almond oil to the mix.
- Take approximatley 4 T of the almond mixture and press into the bottom of one 5-inch ramekin and repeat with another ramekin.
- Divide the peach mixture among the two ramekins.
- To the remaining almond mixture add the brown sugar and margarine and mix and pinch the mixture thoroughly with your fingers until you’ve got a nice stickly clump that you can then crumble over the peaches.
- Bake @ 350* for 25 minutes.
Ok and just for fun, here are some really old Grapenuts commercials that I stumbled upon. Hope you enjoy.
