Quick Cherry and Peach Crisp

By Mary Susan

After we went cherry picking, we made this delicious cherry almond cake. I still had a bowl full of cherries left to do something with. I debated making jam and cobbler and ultimately decided on this cobbler. Or is it a crisp? Are cobbler and crisp really the same thing? That is one baking controversy I will never quite understand. For me, a crispy oat and sugar topping is definitely a crisp. I think cobbler is more cakey, but I think ultimately it depends what part of the country you are in.

This was whipped up in a matter of minutes. It’s so easy that you can do it at the same time as making dinner. At least, that is what I did.

The crispy oat topping is so delicious and the brown sugar just sings. It’s delicious on its own or you can top it with ice cream or whipped cream. Or, if you are out of whipped cream and ice cream like I was, top it with honey flavored Greek yogurt and then drizzle some honey on the top. I’m telling you, it MADE the dessert ten million times more delicious. All of the tartness of the cherries with the sweetness of the honey and brown sugar were so perfectly paired. It was so good that I’ll probably always add Greek yogurt on top from here on out.
