Peach Crisp with Walnut Crust Topping

Have you had peaches yet this year? They’re magnificent!

Both peaches and nectarines are just the best fruit this year. Not so much apricots (the ones I’ve purchased were flavorless, even from a high-end grocery store), so I’ve been sticking to peaches and nectarines to add to my morning yogurt. I needed a dessert to take to dinner with friends. And it happened they made a recipe from my blog for the entree – I gave the recipe to them a couple of years ago and they just love it. Not my own recipe, but one I posted here from Smitten Kitchen. Schmaltzy Chicken; They made it with just cabbage and onions (no Brussels Sprouts). So good. I haven’t made it in a long time. Such an easy recipe.

Anyway, I had some peaches on hand, so I made this cobbler. I adjusted the recipe from 101 Cookbooks just a little bit. Very little – I added some vanilla. Next time I will try it with a bit of almond extract.

The peaches are tossed with just a bit of sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice – to which I added the vanilla. A lemon is zested (the kind that makes little strings) and that’s put into the bottom of a buttered 9×9 glass Pyrex. Don’t use a smaller size as the topping won’t get done.

It’s always perplexed me that when I try to use my old tried-and-true apple crisp recipe, adapted for peaches, it doesn’t work. Now that I see this recipe I realize why. Peaches are too tender for long cooking, and you need to adjust the heat up a lot to get the topping to cook through quickly and not to turn the peaches to mush. So, a thick layer of peaches, then the topping is added on top. It’s a bit different – the dry ingredients are mixed up with nuts – then you add a slurry of yogurt and egg, then butter, and mix that into the flour just until it’s mixed through, not any further. Then you have to use your fingers to drop little nuggets of this dough on top of the peaches. Big pieces won’t cook through, hence small little drops all over. That does take a few extra minutes to manipulate the little nuggets. Into a 425 oven it goes – it took 20 minutes. I served it at room temp with vanilla ice cream, but you could also pour heavy cream on top, or whipped cream.

What’s GOOD: it was just delicious. Loved the crunchy topping. I had a hard time deciding between calling it a crust or crisp. It’s both. I prefer a flour-based crust rather than oat-centric one. This is a keeper.

What’s NOT: well, you do have to cut the juicy peaches or nectarines, and there is a bit of mixing, but overall it’s pretty easy. Nothing wrong with it at all; as I said, it’s a keeper.

Fresh Peach Cobbler with Walnut Crust Topping

Recipe By: Adapted slightly from 101 Cookbooks blog
Servings: 9

Butter for greasing the baking dish
FRUIT:
1 small lemon — zest and juice
5 cups fresh peaches — ripe, cut into about 3/4″ chunks, unpeeled, or nectarines
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla — or almond extract
1/4 cup granulated sugar
TOPPING:
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup toasted walnuts — chopped, or pecans
1 large egg
1/2 cup yogurt — or buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter — melted and cooled
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, or pouring cream

1. Preheat oven to 425°F, rack in the middle or top third. Butter a 9×9-inch baking dish. Use the kind of zester that produces little strings and drop those all over the bottom of the greased baking dish.
2. FRUIT: combine the peaches, cornstarch, vanilla and sugar in a medium bowl and gently toss. Juice the lemon and sprinkle over the fruit and mix lightly. Set aside.
3. TOPPING: combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and nuts in a large bowl. In another separate bowl whisk together the egg and yogurt (or buttermilk), then whisk in the butter. Fold the eggy liquid mixture into the flour mixture until it’s barely combined.
4. Pour fruit into the prepared pan without disturbing the lemon zest. Add the topping by dropping small dollops into the pan a SCANT tablespoon each – if they’re too big they won’t bake through. Push the batter around (fingers work best here) to the edges. You’ll want very few peek-holes of fruit visible, if any.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and cooked through completely. Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature. Can be served with ice cream, pouring heavy cream or whipped cream.

Call for Papers: Religion and James Bond

"...The volume will focus on a number of themes, including, but not limited to: sin/redemption, sexuality, political theology, and religious plurality... Though the volume will focus predominately on the films, I also hope to see proposals on Ian Fleming’s novels, the history and development of Bond, and perhaps even the video games and collectibles. We will have to see what the call for papers brings in, but there is a lot of fertile ground in the world of 007..."
