Peach Crisp Crepe with Maple Sauce


Who doesn't like peach crisp? No one in my house that's for sure, I love peach anything, I am always reminded of the orchard we use to visit when I was a kid, they use to always sell homemade peach and apple pie. One whiff of peach and all those blissful memories come flooding back, unfortunately the orchard was sold and closed to the public sometime ago but I wish they still sold those homemade peach pies. I decided on turning a peach crisp into a crepe this morning, and it was perfect for this warm weather we are finally getting, I also remember seeing a recipe for a maple sauce on the pioneer woman blog (I wish I could live with her so she can teach me her ways!) and I thought that would go perfect to too the crepes with.

Maple sauce:
1 cup heavy cream
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tbsp light corn syrup

Whisk all of them together in a pot.
Heat on medium heat until the mix starts to boil, make sure to watch it closely so it doesn't boil over.
Reduce heat to low and let cook down till it's about 1/2 of the original volume of sauce. It will take some time so be patient. Whisk occasionally to make sure the mix doesn't stick to the bottom.
Remove from heat, place in a glass bowl or container and let cool down in the fridge. 
Original recipe from: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/07/peach_crisp_wit/

Peach crisp crumble:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl add all the ingredients.
Use a fork or your hands and mix all together making sure to break any large chunks apart as you mix.
On a small cookie sheet lined with foil and lightly greased spread the mixture and place in the oven for 15 minutes.  
Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Peach filling:
29oz. Can sliced peaches (cubed) 
3/4 cups peach juice from can 
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cornstarch 
2 tbsp flour

In a pot add in the peach juice, cinnamon, sugar and cornstarch.

Whisk together and turn the heat on to medium.
Let the mixture start to bubble occasionally whisking.
Once it has thickened turn the heat to low, add in the peaches and flour, bring the heat back up to medium and let cook for about 5 minutes occasionally stirring to make sure the peaches don't stick to the bottom.

Remove from heat and let cool while you make the crepes. 

To assemble spoon some of the peach mix into a crepe. Fold over and drizzle some maple sauce over the crepe, crumble some crisp mix over the crepe an enjoy.
