Why I chose this recipe:
Peaches are good, but I think baked peaches are even better. When peaches are in season, it is hard to find a dessert more delicious than a peach crisp. I have been tinkering with this recipe for two weeks, but I finally think I have something worth sharing with you all. My family, aka guinea pigs, have been very willing to taste all my attempts with this buttery crisp on top. However, they particularly liked the addition to the recipe of mango and blueberries which added depth of flavor and color to this summery treat. Garnish the crisp with vanilla bean ice cream and enjoy the combination as the ice cream slowly melts over and into the fruitful dessert.
For your next Sunday dinner or backyard barbeque, grab some peaches and your favorite vanilla bean ice cream and throw this scrumptious crisp together and .
