| Peach Crisp |
Onward and upward on my budget series. Here I use the frozen peaches from the dollar store.
My friends on Facebook were asking me what I was going to do with the other food I bought for the SNAP challenge I took for Food Bloggers Against Hunger for The Giving Table.
Since a lack of freezer space forced me to remove the peaches to the fridge for a more expensive cut of meat, I decided a dessert may be in order so I could use these now-defrosted peaches.
Years ago, when I was all into “healthy” and all that (insert laugh here), I’d make fruit crisps with very little sugar, fat and simple carbs (i.e. white flour) and use oatmeal for a granola-type topping. I decided to do that again.

So, I told my friends I’m gonna do a “peach thing.” Then later that I was off to make the “peach thing.” One friend said, “Hey you ought to name it that.” Great idea, but I try to make this blog search engine friendly so I needed something more pointed and yes, generic.
Therefore, I call it “Peach Crisp” but it can also be known as “The Peach Thing.” Yes it can Julie Armstrong LOL. Just for you!
Peach Crisp
- 10 oz frozen peaches (no sugar added), defrosted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbs flour
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon or allspice
- 1 cup quick oats
- 3 tbs flour
- 2 tbs cold butter
- 2 tbs sugar
- 2 tbs brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 4 individual casserole dishes (ramekins) with non-stick spray (you can use a 1 quart casserole dish as well).
Mix peaches with sugar, cinnamon/allspice and flour. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, butter, sugar and flour. Cut in butter until it’s the size of small peas.
Place peaches in prepared pan(s). Top with oatmeal crumbs & sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until fruit juice begins bubbling from the sides of the casserole and the crumbs are lightly browned.
Serves 4
You can substitute whole wheat flour for the white in this for extra nutrition and fibre.

Wow, I didn't even know you could get peaches from the dollar store!! Will do that next time!! I'm always trying to save money!
This was Dollar Tree. They have a whole mess of food there!!! They'd just put in a refrigerated & frozen section when I got those peaches.
