The beauty of Orchard 2 Oven products is it gives you a jumping off point. It saves you the time of prepping the fruit so you can indulge your inner creativity.
On 4th of July I was put in charge of dessert so I chose a peach crisp with homemade peach, and vanilla (for the less brave), ice cream. All my friends know I’m a cooking show junkie so I thought long and hard; and like a medium at a séance, channeled a Food Network star, Giada. I remembered her making a crisp using amaretti cookies and so I searched; I found the recipe and off I went. I didn’t follow the recipe exactly because her recipe called for nectarines and blueberries and I had peaches. I used the recipe anyway because peaches are pretty close to nectarines. Using Giada’s crumb topping and Orchard 2 Oven peaches I made a delicious dessert that everyone enjoyed.
The recipe is adapted from Giada DeLaurentis on the Food Network
1 Pkg Orchard 2 Oven Peach fruit filling
1 C All purpose flour
1/3 C Firmly packed brown sugar
1 C Coarsely crushed amaretti cookies
3/4 C sliced almonds
1/2 C (1 stick butter) cut into 1/2 inch chunks.
Stir flour and sugar to blend. Add the cookies and almonds and mix well Using your fingers rub the butter into the dry mix until clumps form. Place peaches, mixed with the glaze, in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. I like glass so I can see the bubbly goodness when it’s done cooking. Sprinkle with the crumb topping and place in a pre-heated 350° oven for 45 minutes, or until its golden crisp and bubbly. This is one you want to serve warm so cool only about 10 minutes. Serve with your favorite peach or vanilla ice cream and you’ve got a bowl full of the best tastes of summer. Enjoy!
