What is a Peach Crisp?
Peach crisp is a wonderful dessert prepared with a juicy fruit mixture, covered with a crumb topping. Many prefer peach crisp to pie as it is much faster to prepare and you can develop a unique flavor and texture with the crisp. Variations of pies and crisps have been around for hundreds of years. The pie actually is a product of second century B.C.E. Rome, when meat pies were prepared. In modern times, variations of crisps have been based on seasonal fruits and berries. They are called cobblers, crisps, croustade, bird’s nest pudding, crow’s nest pudding, pies, tarts, tortes and several other regional names.
