Think outside the box for dessert and make this foil-pack peach crisp. By utilizing your grill, this unique method delivers the perfect mix of smoky flavor and crisp texture. We love it because we don’t have to heat up the house with our oven.
We are peach people through and through and are excited it’s peach season! This recipe was born out of not wanting to turn on our oven during the hot summer months. And? We wanted to challenge ourselves to make a whole meal on the grill, even the dessert.
Plus, if you don’t use all of your peaches on this foil pack peach crisp you can always make our peach smoothie or these moist peach muffins.
