I’m going to be honest.

I had to do some research to figure out the difference between a cobbler, a crumble and a crisp.

Let me tell you, there is definitely a difference!

I adore peaches, and one day towards the end of summer I had a bounty of fresh peaches to use. Wanting to give my family a fun summery treat, I knew I wanted to create a very simple, light and satisfying dessert.

Thinking it would be a cobbler I started researching recipes and discovered a cobbler typically uses dough (like biscuits or pancake dough) as a full layer on top of the fruit. A crumble uses a mixture with a crumble like texture on top, and a crisp uses a more crisp/granola like layer on top.

Fascinating!

I went the direction of a very simple crumble with ingredients I had on hand and it was delicious! We served it with vanilla ice cream and it was a hit.

You can typically use any hardy stone fruit for a crumble like this. While I love peaches, this would be great with plumbs or apricots as well. I also prefer to cut the fruit into chunks so they don’t get soggy as slices do, but truly any shape works!

If you haven’t used almond flour before, I highly recommend trying it in this recipe. It’s a little more nutty and sweet than regular flour and I adore it with the oats.

Summer is closing out quickly here in the US and now is the perfect time for one last summery dessert!

Enjoy!
