So everywhere I hear that summer is coming to an end. Fall fashion is all the rage and every store is telling me how to set up my living room for autumn...It's still going to be 80+ degrees this week. I'm confused. Not that I'm not ridiculously excited for autumn. ALL the pumpkin flavored things this way please!!! It's by far and away my favorite season. Of all time. Ever. The cooling sweater weather, boots, pumpkins and leaves changing, boots, halloween and thanksgiving, boots, best time to watch practical magic and hocus pocus, and of course boots. My birthday is also in november which obviously makes Fall the best season, as I'm sure you'll agree. Now that I'm looking about, the tops of the maple trees outside my winder have red leaves on them....!!!!!! AUTUMN!!!!!
Ok wait. Let's not get ahead of ourselves (but I'm going to keep an eye on those trees...!!!) It's still August after all, and August requires....wait for it....PEACHES! Because come on, summer = peaches. Even one of my favorite songs right now by In the Valley Below is called Peaches. Fitting yes?
Ergo, Single Serving Summer Peach Crisps!
Yessss dessert. These little guys (honestly they're not that little, definitely not mini like the rhubarb crumbles) are quicker to bake than a regular pie due to their size and are just so snazzy when you present them to your guests. "Here's your own, personal, peach crisp." YES! I'd be excited. Also, as it's still summer and the grilling, patio shenanigans are still in full swing, these are great for the outdoors. These little soup crock-bowls usually come with lids and can be easily transported anywhere and you don't need to bring other serve ware! (Just some spoons please). Beach BBQ? Done. Picnic in the park? Done. Labor day party? Done.
Seriously these are so easy-peez. Oh did I forgot to mention they're also DELICIOUS? Seriously. Even if you decide to use frozen, already sliced peaches, it'll come out just as tasty. Hmm frozen peaches....means....peach crisp ALL year round! YES!
So you guys, I'm still staring at those maple trees out the window....let's get rolling on some Single Serving Summer Peach Crisps before I bust out the cranberry, pumpkin, sweet potato, butternut squash MADNESS!

I like the picture with the glistening golden brown sugar flakes. It looks tasty on the bowl of fresh peaches.
