Country Peach-Blueberry Cobbler Crisp

Print Recipe

I just could not decide if I wanted a peach cobbler or a peach crisp.  Problem solved.  I combined them.  Heck, while I was at it, I combined the the peaches with some beautiful blueberries I found at the market today.  I loved the way that the crisp topping sank down into the fruit mixture and combined to make chewy bits among the blueberries and peaches.

So tonight’s midweek treat is just a big ole combination of treats.  Of course I love the combination of peaches and blueberries.  The slight bit of tartness from the blueberries along with the sweetness of the peaches is wonderful. 

I have always loved all the cobblers that mom and grandma would make.  Every summer from the fresh fruits we would either grow or get at farmers markets and then through the winter with the fruits that mom would freeze or can.   The tenderness of the cake with the fresh fruits is just amazing.  Then there was grandma’s apple crisp.  I have always loved to have it hot from the pan with vanilla ice cream melting all over the top.   Grandma always had a fresh apple crisp a few times a month during the summer.  I so wish I could go back to my childhood for just one more afternoon in grandma’s farm kitchen.
