Serves 8

This scrumptious dessert also can be made with nectarines instead of peaches.
Peach Filling
  • 1 cup frozen white grape juice concentrate
  • 6 cups sliced freestone peaches, fresh or frozen
  • ⅓ cup unrefined cane sugar
  • ¼ cup peach brandy, or 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract and ¼ tsp. almond extract
  • 2 Tbs. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbs. cold water
Cinnamon-Walnut Topping
  • ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup toasted wheat germ
  • ⅓ cup unrefined cane sugar
  • 3 Tbs. chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3 Tbs. prune puree
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. To make Peach Filling: Heat frozen juice concentrate in a stovetop- and oven-safe 2-quart casserole over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add peaches, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes, or until peaches soften. Add sugar, and stir to mix. Add peach brandy, and cook for 3 minutes, or until liquid has consistency of syrup. Turn off heat, and remove 11/2 cups of syrup, setting it aside in a small saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in water, and stir into peaches.
  3. To make Cinnamon-Walnut Topping: Put flour, wheat germ, sugar, walnuts and cinnamon into a food processor, and pulse to mix. Add prune pur8Ee, and process until mixture has the consistency of a moist crumb. Sprinkle generously over filling.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Bring reserved syrup to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook down, and reduce syrup to about 1 cup. Spoon syrup over warm crisp, and serve.
