Fresh peach crisp is a traditional dessert with roots in American cuisine, particularly popular in the southern United States. This sweet treat combines fresh fruit with a crunchy topping that highlights flavors and textures. In Latin America, although peaches are highly valued in various recipes, this type of dessert can be found under different names or similar variations, such as "peach tart" in Mexico or "peach dessert" in countries of the Southern Cone. Its simple preparation and fresh ingredients make it a perfect option to take advantage of peach season and delight the family with a homemade and delicious dish.
