Today I’m sharing the first recipe I ever made, when I was three years old! Peach Crisp! This is a classic recipe, easily adjusted to work with whatever fruit you have on hand – fresh, canned, or frozen, and you can throw it together last minute as well.

Ingredients You Need to Make Peach Crisp:
You’ll need: Oats*, Brown Sugar*, Peaches, Butter or Margarine*, Flour*, and Cinnamon.
*Oats – Quick or old fashioned, whatever you have.
*Brown Sugar – dark or light, whichever you prefer
*Butter or Margarine – Whichever you have on hand and/or can afford. Ignore anyone who judges or complains, if they have free time for that then they have time to cook for themselves.
*Flour – All Purpose or Self Rising, either one will work just fine for our purposes here.
Helpful Kitchen Tools
Drain your peaches (or use fresh, sliced, peeled ones!) and pour them into the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish, or a pie plate. Whatever you grab out of the cabinet first.
Place all of your other peach crisp ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Mix ’em up really well with a long tined fork or pastry blender if you’re fancy.
(It’s just as okay to be fancy as it is to be plain)
Sprinkle that over the top of your peaches.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Serve peach crisp warm, with ice cream if you like. Enjoy!

Sounds delicious. . . my Mama also taught me, at a very young age to make the one, one, one, one peach cobbler… one large can of peaches w/syrup, I cup sugar, one stick of BUTTER, yup (it’s the GOOD stuff,) l cup of Self rising flour!!!
This reminds me of that one. . . I’m sure you know “all” about the one, one, one cobbler… you can substitute all kinds of “canned in syrup fruits!!” My family LOVES these. I change it up using peaches and cherries. . . GREAT STUFF!!
Blessings to you, Christy ; ))
After reading your story Christy and everyone’s comments, I almost forgot the
Peach Crisp! Love your quick and easy recipes with ingredients we often have on hand.
Having taught for almost 30 years in schools were we were about 75% free and reduced lunch, I can assure you that attitude was probably the way that child had learned to survive at home and in her own environment.
You are right on target when you talk about how to win those difficult children over to your side. It would be almost impossible to do in one day, but building a relationship based on trust and care is how to influence a child like this and that takes time.
You can almost always make more progress with kindness, caring and a few hugs thrown in here and there to teach a child about loving and pleasing others. Positive reinforcement works 99% of the time with children like this, at least it did with me. For some, I believe I was the first person they learned they could trust. It made a huge difference for me and for them. Many of them are still in contact with me, although they have long graduated high school.
One of my worst little convicts, who stole money and everything that wasn’t locked down, is now the manager at a local restaurant where we often go to eat. I am SO proud of this child whose mother taught him to steal and thieve.
You have a good heart, Ms. Christy!!!
Can you use applesauce in place of the butter?
Sorry; I drooled on your post. Let me get a towel. That looks delicious!
Thank you Teresa. I always say that teachers like preachers are called by God. I enjoyed my forty-two years and my prayer each morning was to ask God for patience and to let me make a difference in at least one child’s life that day.
I was truly blessed last year when one of my third graders named me as her Star Teacher because of the life lessons that I taught her. We never know how much influence we have on the children we teach. It truly is a calling by God.
SERIOUSLY, it is a complete neck and neck tie of what I look forward too in your
posts…your recipes or your stories/messages. This is truly one that I needed to have pounded into me lately!! And peach crisp?? Who wouldn’t go for that??
