Peach Betty

As much as I hate to admit it, I’m somewhat of an emotional eater. I try my hardest to eat healthy and enjoy my baked goods in moderation but sometimes things just hit the fan and I find myself at Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut all in one week. (Last week suuuuuucked.) And when that happens, I’m left with a fridge full of fresh fruit that I never got around to eating.

That’s how this betty came about.

A betty is kind of like a cobbler or a crisp but they are typically made with cubed bread or breadcrumbs. This version uses graham cracker crumbs. I know it looks a little funny but it’s so good! You know when you’re making a graham cracker crust and you save yourself the last spoonful of the mixture? That’s what it tastes like! Unbaked graham cracker crust sound real appealing, right? But trust me, it’s delicious! I found myself scooting peaches around in the baking dish to get more of the crumbs. Mmm!
