{ Personal Peach Crisps }


Before peaches go completely out of season, 
I have one last recipe you absolutely need to make! 

Personal Peach Crisps. 

A peach, cut in half, 
packed with an incredible crumb topping, drizzled with honey,
and served with a melty scoop of vanilla ice cream. 
They're really easy & really tasty.


I made this recipe a couple weeks back, spur of the moment, 
for a last minute dessert idea. Considering how fast I threw them 
into the oven, I honestly didn't expect them to taste as delicious as they did.

The secret ingredient that made these so good was definitely the honey.

 The peaches were sweet, warm, & juicy,
the crumb topping was crisp but slightly chewy 
because of the honey - which caramelized when baked . 
And that ice cream on top, can't do without it. 

It was the perfect, satisfying after dinner treat. 


To make these Personal Peach Crisps,
preheat the oven to 350 F. Then slice your 
peaches in half, removing the pits. 

{You can peel the skins off if you'd like. 
Though, personally, I didn't mind them.}


Next, make the crumb topping by combining the flourbrown sugar, and salt
Once mixed together, cut in the cold butter

Finally, add the vanilla and coconut oil and crumble everything 
together with your fingers until the mixture clumps together like wet sand.

{Start with just 1 tbsp. of coconut oil, and add another only if needed.}


Line the 4 peach halves on a parchment lined baking sheet. 

Pick up each half, one by one, and with your other hand pack a handful 
of crumb topping onto the peach - as much as you can without it falling off! 

Once you've done this with all four halves, 
drizzle the tops of them with honey and bake them in a 350 degree 
oven for about 15 minutes, until the crumb topping is brown and the peaches are tender. 

{Freeze any additional crumb topping for later use.}


See what I mean?!

While they baked, the honey caramelized. 
I peeled off a little puddle of that caramelized honey from the pan 
once it cooled - and it was chewy, almost like candy!


While the peach crisps are warm, 
top each with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and dig in!

    1. Thank you! :) It's honestly one of the easiest & best tasting desserts I've made in a while. And if you can't find peaches, this recipe might even work with apples! (They'd probably just need to bake for a bit longer..)
