Meghan McGarry suggests that summer fruits make the best desserts with simple preparation. Reduce the hours spent in your hot summer kitchen with this crowd-pleasing but easy-to-throw-together dessert. The juiciness of ripe, succulent peaches is enhanced with sugar and almond extract. Meg tops the fruit with an oat crumble topping and sets it to bake until the filling thickens and bubbles through the crumble. Serve with a little (or, a LOT) of ice cream or whipped cream, and make the best of summer's bounty.
