There are two desserts that I truly get excited about every summer. The first is strawberry rhubarb crunch that I make with my home-grown rhubarb, which in fact is the only thing I grow myself because it is my fav!

The second is my peach crisp. I know these two things probably sound so ordinary but believe me when I say they are the best! This peach crisp is loaded with fresh peaches I picked up at the farmer’s market. Every year I chase down that Colorado peach truck at the farmer’s market.

Here is a semi-quick rundown of my interaction with the Colorado peach truck:

I park and walk up to the many crates of peaches and before I even say a word, a man walks up and says, “Here, try this one.” The non-bashful peach lover that I am said back, “Why thank you.” One bite and I decide I need to double my order of peaches. One bite my friends! Now that is a salesman or rather just a genuine nice guy who is striking up conversation with anyone even close to his stand. While I am devouring this best peach of my entire life I am also wondering if I can go live in Colorado and grow peaches and just spread the peach love like this guy.

Well, soon off I go with my half box of peaches and the hugest smile because I know I am going to make my famous peach crisp and still have peaches left over that I now eat like an apple. I mean like an apple but much faster and a whole lot messier and probably less appealing to watch. LOL. But delicious either way!

Something else I am also excited to share with you is my decision to become a Pampered Chef Consultant. I use a lot of their products already and so it is a no-brainer for me to become a consultant and promote the products I use and love everyday! I love Pampered Chef and I will only state my own opinions in regards to the products.

I baked this peach crisp in my Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker. So if you have one and are looking for more recipes to use this for…here is one!! 🙂

Alrighty friends, if there is anything better than the fresh Colorado peaches used for this recipe than it’s gotta be the perfect crumb topping! I could probably eat just that for dessert and be good.

YUMMY!

I hope you love it too!!

Here is a list of the Pampered Chef Products I used and loved for this recipe:

My favorite item is the 3-cup silicone prep bowl. It was so handy to measure all of the peaches in as I was slicing them rather than dealing with measuring cups. The silicone is bendable and is microwave and freezer safe. They come as a set of 3 and will be great for easy storage!

You can also use frozen peach slices for this recipe. No need to thaw them prior.

Also I baked this recipe in a 3 quart stoneware baking dish and it increased the baking time a little. I baked it for 45 minutes.
