When looking through my Wooden Spoon drafts, I found this entry from September unpublished. Unlikely you can find fresh peaches now, but that's what frozen produce is for. You can substitute any fruit for the peaches, as well.
Last week my friend Alyssa loaded me up with peaches, nectarines, and other fresh produce. As I was cutting up the peaches and nibbling on them, I thought that it's a travesty to turn luscious peaches in season into a baked good, but I didn't think I'd be able to eat all that fruit before it went bad, and thus I made peach crisp. Eating the peach crisp, I took back what I said about travesty. At risk of sounding cliche, this crisp brings to mind words like "heaven."
Ingredients
1 Tbs. ground flax seed
3 Tbs. water
4 c. peaches, sliced (or other fruit or berry)
1 c. flour
1 c. Sucanat
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. margarine, melted
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Combine the flax and water in a small bowl.
3. Put the peaches in the bottom of a dish.
4. In a bowl, mix together flour, Sucanat, and baking powder. Add the flax mixture and mix with a fork or your fingers until everything is dampened and in small clumps.
5. Scatter the flour mixture over the peaches. Drizzle the margarine over everything, and use a spoon to spread it about if necessary.
6. Bake for 25 minutes.
