This easy dessert is a delicious way to enjoy fresh, summer peaches! Topped with a cinnamon pecan crumble, this dessert is great with a big scoop of ice cream!

• ¼ c. sugar
• 1 Tbsp. dry tapioca
• For Crumble topping:
• ½ c. oatmeal
• ½ c. flour
• ½ c. brown sugar
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. baking soda
• ¼ tsp. baking powder
• ¼ c. butter, melted
• ⅓ c. chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar and dry tapioca. Mix to coat the peaches. Set aside.
3. In a second bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Mix to combine. Gradually pour the melted butter over the oatmeal mixture, and stir until crumbly. Mix in the pecans.

I hope you enjoy the Peach Crisp as much as my family and me.  As the end of the summer draws near, I love taking the time to preserve the season with amazing local food.  So get to your local farmers market, or anywhere where there is fresh, local produce.  Its such a wonderful way to enjoy all the flavors that summer has to offer.
