Summer is almost over. Where has the time gone?! For me, one of the best parts of summer is all the fresh fruit! I’ve been enjoying it as is all season long but, I’ve hardly done any baking with it. I love using fresh fruit in my baked goods so, why I haven’t been using it is beyond me! In an effort to redeem myself and the rest of the season, I decided to put together a peach crisp and savor the sweet taste of summer!

With lots of fresh juicy peaches and a crispy oat topping surrounded by subtle hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, every element of this dessert brings loads of flavor! While, cinnamon and nutmeg are common flavors of fall, autumn will be the last thing on your mind when you take a bite of this crisp. The peaches shine through and leave no doubt that summer is still here even if only for a short while. Top this crisp with ice cream for an extra special summer treat!
