hazelnut summer fruit crisp

 

This morning i went to the farmers market here in Montauk, where the produce is so fresh and amazing and there are tons of interesting vendors selling specialty products such as breads and pastries, chutney's and jams, pickles, wine, coffee, cheeses, pesto's and sauces! Really interesting and inspiring to walk through, plus fun to sample all these local artisan products. I've been staying out at my family's summer house enjoying the beach and just relaxing, waiting to move into my apartment in Rhode Island to start school in only 10 days! I better appreciate this peace and leisure now before things get super busy and stressful soon.

Well, at the market this morning i bought some ripe, fresh peaches and plums, so i came home and made a crisp including some blueberries i already had in the fridge. It came out so delicious, and smelled heavenly while baking! I can't wait to serve it tonight for dessert, since my grandpa and dad are driving in from the city later and i know they will both love it! My dad loves hazelnuts and my grandpa's favorite fruits are plums and peaches! Perfect way to enjoy the end of the summer with the beautiful, fresh fruits of the season.
