Peach Crisp with Maple Cream Sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 5 to 6 whole fresh peaches (best when not overly ripe or soft), peeled, cut in half and pit removed (about 1 3/4 pounds)
- 1/2 a lemon
- 7 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt using a fork or pastry cutter.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and gradually add to flour mixture until evenly mixed.
- Slice the peaches 1/2-inch thick into a bowl.
- Add the zest from the lemon half.
- Squeeze juice from the lemon half and stir in with the peaches and zest.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup to the peaches and stir well.
- Pour the peach mixture into a small pan (8 or 9-inch square) and cover evenly with the crumb topping.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake until crisp and brown on top, an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
- For the maple cream sauce, pour the heavy cream into a saucepan.
- Add the remaining 5 tablespoons maple syrup and corn syrup and stir over moderate heat until thickened and reduced by about one-third, about 15 minutes.
- Refrigerate the sauce until it is cold and thick.
- Or, if you're in a hurry, set the saucepan into a small bowl of ice (the ice will melt and turn into ice water).
- Stirring your mixture, it will cool and thicken in about 15 minutes.
- Drizzle the maple cream sauce over the peach crisp.
- Serve warm.
