Ingredients

  • 7 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced (approximately 10-12 peaches)
  • 12 cup natural cane sugar (I used half cane sugar and half dark brown sugar)
  • 14 cup unbleached flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • 23 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
  • 12 cup natural cane sugar
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 12 cup butter (very cold and cut into small pieces)
  • 12 cup pine nuts

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375?.
  • Butter or oil an 11x17-inch baking dish.
  • Filling: In a medium bowl, combine peaches, sugar(s), flour, and lemon juice.
  • Spread fruit mixture evenly in baking dish; set aside.
  • Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, and salt.
  • Use a pastry blender to work the butter pieces into the dry ingredients so the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Cover fruit evenly with topping.
  • Set the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any juices that spill over.
  • Bake until fruit is bubbling, the peaches are fork tender and topping is golden in color, about 45 minutes.
  • *Add* the pine nuts to the top of the crisp the final 5-10 minutes of baking.
