Peach Dessert

This recipe was shared with me by a girlfriend years ago. I'm not sure where she found it, but we both agreed it was scrumptious! It's a family-pleaser, too!

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 32-oz. can of sliced peaches, drained
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 1/3 c. all-purpose flour

Topping:

• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. ground cloves
• dash of salt
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 stick (1/4 #) butter or margarine

1. Heat oven to 350° F. Mix filling ingredients well and put in bottom of a 9" square oiled glass pan.

2. Mix dry topping ingredients. Mix vanilla, egg, and butter and then add to the dry topping ingredients, using a shortening cutter, until the mixture is damp, but crumbly. Crumble this topping over the filling.

3. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes. Topping will be crunchy-looking but bubbly. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Wrap leftovers in pan well with plastic wrap before refrigerating, or dessert may crystallize and be difficult to serve when cold.

This favorite goes well with my spaghetti dinner.
