Not every time when I crave something sweet - and it happens too often, I’d say – I want a chocolate dessert. Really? I can’t believe I am actually saying that! J It’s true, sometimes, I just want something fruity, but sweet and delicious that will satisfy my HUGE sweet tooth. This Apple and Peach Crisp will do just that! It’s amazingly delicious, tender, juicy, light and very satisfying. It’s so easy to make and the only problem I have with this dessert is sharing it with others :). Probably because it’s so light and disappears from a plate so fast, you have this urge to add just a bit more from the baking dish, and then a bit more again…It’s just fruits, it’s healthy, right? And the whipped cream and caramel…well, it’s only a decoration! Get creative with this Crisp, use different fruits and berries – it will be super tasty and delicious!
