Peach Blueberry Crisp

Just let me know when you’re tired of hearing about how much I love peaches, mmmkay? And you probably already know this, but not all peaches were created equal. The ranking goes like this: Palisade Peaches #1, the rest of the world’s peaches #2. You know how you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone? I feel that way about my access to those luscious, juicy, mouth-watering Palisade peaches. Luckily, I had a friend in Colorado and she picked up a batch for me and delivered it to us in New Mex! YAY! And also luckily, the Trader Joe’s peaches are pretty darn good too, so I got a fresh batch that I hope to stretch for the remainder of summer. Summer, don’t go!

This crisp is made with peaches, blueberries, and what some would consider a “paleo” crisp topping. Basically, that means it’s grain-free and made with natural sugar. The tartness of the blueberries mixes perfectly with the sweet peaches. I love baked fruit desserts so much! Top it off with some ice cream, or even all on it’s own, it’s a blue-ribbon winner of a dessert. Let me know if you try it. And if you come visit us from Colorado, BRING PEACHES!!! We will surely love you forever and I’ll make you something delish! Pinky promise.
