I read the suggestions and comments in the reviews when I tried this recipe that I adopted from the RecipeZaar account in February 2005. Instead of all the flour, sugar, and cinnamon going into the topping, I increased the amounts of each and mixed some with the peaches. (Originally the recipe called for 1 cup each flour and (white) sugar and only 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. I like cinnamon.) The result was a dessert with a nice consistency, not runny, and with the sweetness distributed throughout, not just in the topping. This fruity dessert is great served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients:
6 cups fresh peaches, peeled, sliced fresh
2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground (divided)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed (divided)
1/2 cup butter, softened
Directions:
1. Place sliced peaches in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix together 1/2 cup of the flour, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, then mix well with sliced peaches in bowl.
3. Place peach mixture in the bottom of a lightly buttered 9 x 13 inch baking dish; set aside.
4. Combine remaining flour, sugar, and cinnamon with the salt in a medium mixing bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
5. Sprinkle mixture evenly over peaches in dish.
6. Bake in a preheated 375 degree (Fahrenheit) oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Spoon into individual serving bowls; serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
