  • 1½ - 2 cups sugar

  • TOPPING:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ -1 cup butter (or shortening)
  • ½ tsp nutmeg

Instructions
  1. Prepare a 10" Dutch Oven for cooking by spraying the inside with No-stick food spray or using a liner.
  2. FRUIT FILLING:
  3. Wash, peel, and slice the peaches or fruit.
  4. Place in a large bowl.
  5. Add the flour, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Use less sugar if the fruit is already sweet. Use a little more sugar if the fruit is not quite sweet enough.
  6. Mix well to distribute the flour and sugar.
  7. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared Dutch Oven.
  8. TOPPING:
  9. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the topping ingredients and mix until crumbly.
  10. Evenly spread the topping over the fruit filling.
  11. Cover the Dutch Oven with the lid. To bake at 400°F(204°C), place 17 hot coals on top and 8 on bottom. Turn the Dutch Oven ¼ turn clockwise, and the lid ¼ turn counter clockwise, every 15 min. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hours until the fruit is soft and the top is crispy golden brown.
Notes
Change it up by using apples, pears, berries or other fruits. Canned fruit can also be used.

To cook in a solar oven, place the prepared crisp into a hot solar oven and bake for about 1 to 1½ hours until the top is golden brown.

To cook in a kitchen oven, bake at 400°F (204°C) for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown.

If using fresh apples or pears, add ¼ water to the prepared fruit.
