Baked Peaches

From: Southern Living 1992 cookbook

Ingredients:
5-6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Dash of ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter



Place peaches in a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle flour mixture over peaches. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.



What I did differently from the recipe:
I halved the recipe.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up. Here's the deal - I don't like peaches. But in my opinion, you add enough brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to anything - it'll taste good! We get a lot of peaches in our food co-op boxes, and while I do give a lot of the peaches away to people who will eat them, I want to eat more fruits and veggies in my daily diet, which means finding recipes for foods I don't necessarily like to eat alone. I made mine in a loaf pan which was perfect for the amount of peaches I had leftover (3) and I ate the whole thing for breakfast even though I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a dessert. If you like peach crisps or peach cobblers you'll definitely like this easy recipe!
