Peach Strawberry Crisp

I live in The Peach State so I feel an obligation to kick off peach season in Georgia with a quintessential peach recipe.😅🍑  We actually don't have any peach orchards in my neck of the woods (so to speak) but I'm headed to South Georgia next week where peach orchards are prevalent.🌳  So I will do what any other girl would do when surrounded by peach trees, pick ripe peaches and eat peach ice cream.😂🍦

It's not always practical to make the 4 hour trip south to the Peach farms so the next best thing to picking my own fruit is a trip to our local farmers market.  There are lots of great vendors at the market but my favorites are the farmers who bring their fresh fruit and vegetables.🍑🍅🌶️🌽🫛🫑 

It's still a little early in the season for Georgia peaches but as soon as a girl who always likes to be prepared - I've already got my favorite peach recipes ready.  I like to keep my fruit recipes simple - so as not to cover up the fresh flavor of the fruit.  This Peach Strawberry Crisp is exactly that.  It's simple but also exceptionally delicious.🍓🍑
