Classic Peach Crisp - From Pennsylvania Grange Cookbook 1972

Alright, listen up. You know that feeling when summer sun lingers on your skin, fat and juicy peaches practically begging to be devoured, and the only thing standing between you and pure, sweet bliss is a decent recipe? Yeah, I feel you.

Well, fear not, my fellow home cooks. This here is a peach cobbler built for the real world. Simple, satisfying, and exploding with summery goodness.

Now, I wouldn't be here if this wasn't about damn fine peaches. Don't skimp, people. Find the ripest, juiciest specimens you can muster. No mealy disappointments allowed. And for the love of all things delicious, peel those suckers. Nobody wants a mouthful of fuzzy skin.

The crumble topping? Easy as pie, literally. Flour, sugar, a pinch of salt, and some fat. Oil, butter, whatever your heart desires. Just mix it up until it resembles coarse crumbs, the kind that beg to be sprinkled over a pan of summery perfection.

The filling? Peaches, my friends. Glorious, glistening peaches. Toss them with some sugar, a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, and let them mingle. Trust me, they'll thank you for it.

This recipe is an adaptation of Katherine McKinley’s (North Beaver Grange No. 1646) Apple Crisp in the 1972 Pennsylvania Grange Cookbook, page 280.  I updated the language in the recipe and changed the apples in her recipe to peaches.  According to Mrs. McKinley’s recipe “any other fruits may be used.”
