Summer desserts like apple crisp and peach crisp are simple desserts to make and so delicious to eat.
Tis the season for peaches! And what better way to use them than to make a fresh Peach Crisp! Georgia peaches aren't the only peaches on the tree! Wherever you buy them, don't forget the vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for the grand finale!
Baking With Fresh, Frozen & Canned Peaches
Be sure to read Baking With Fresh, Frozen & Canned Peaches before you make this crisp. It has a lot of tips that could save you time, like how to peel peaches and how many peaches are in a pound. Make sure you choose the right peach for your crisp. Freestone peaches are best because the skin and pit can be easily removed.
We made this recipe for years in the bakery. Everyone said it was the best. I guess so, considering how many orders we had week after week. My mother-in-law and an elderly neighbor would sit together, chatting away with cases of apples between them. Each case had 110 Granny Smith apples in the box! Our wholesale orders would climb during the weekends and we'd have to order in about 8 cases in order to fulfill all the orders. This included apple pies as well.
Peeling Apples
Because they were both set in their ways, neither of them would use the handy-dandy apple peeler we bought. Instead, they used paring knives to peel, core and slice every one of those cases. You do the math! That's 880 apples! By the time they were done, they had all the world's problems solved and their hands were stained green and their fingers all cramped! Silly women!
