Peach-Cookie Crisp

WP_006562

 The name of this recipe says it all.  Ripe summer peaches sprinkled with a touch of brown sugar and cinnamon, topped off with a layer of crunchy cookie crumbs and baked with a dot of butter until warm and bubbly.  Any of your favorite store-bought or homemade cookies from the pantry will do here; I used a thin almond-pistachio cookie, but a gingersnap, oatmeal, or even crushed ladyfingers would work very well. My Peach-Cookie Crisp is a lovely way to enjoy the ripest peaches, nectarines or even apricots of the summer season.  To gild the lily, serve this fruit crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or maybe a dollop of pillowy whipped cream.
