Over the weekend we visited my parents and had a yummy dinner - pinto beans, cornbread, kale greens, and skillet potatoes. Yum yum! It was the perfect meal for the unseasonably chilly and foggy summer day. For dessert, I put together this stone fruit crisp. This is the second time making this crisp and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite fruity desserts. Serve it warm just how it is, or top it with whipped cream, or with ice cream.
Stone fruits are in season right now and are readily available (and frickin' amazing!) You can choose your favorites, just use one, or make a big combo.. they will all work! The chopped almonds in the topping, also considered a stone fruit, are an amazing addition for flavor and texture.
Enjoy!
