Golden Peach Crunch

Golden Peach Crunch
One of my favorite "comfort food" desserts.
The whole house smells yummy when this is baking.



Golden Peach Crunch

2 cans (1 lb, 13 oz) cling peaches
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup oats
1/3 cup melted butter 
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Drain peaches. Mix with cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. 
Put in 8 or 9 inch square baking pan. 
Combine rest of ingredients. Mix. Sprinkle onto peaches.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream.
(Sometimes I double the topping for extra crunch.)



I made a double batch tonight. 
One pan for my family.  
The second pan for a family with a daughter in the hospital.   
Please say a prayer for Miss N.

    Hey Gayle, your Golden Peach Crunch, sounds, looks and no doubt tastes delicious...............as for yummy baking smells through the house. Well, my mouth is watering as I read about it.

    I'm sure the recipient of the extra dessert will be very grateful and I'll keep Miss N in my prayers and expect a speedy recovery.

    Oh Gayle, that looks so good right now. I am already hungry :) I made a zucchini cake with chocolate frosting today and I'm waiting for dessert to try it. So my taste buds are-a-waterin'! Sorry to hear about your friend's daughter. I hope everything is or will be alright. What a gift of hospitality you have.
