Celebrate peach season with fresh fruit and a sweet treat to beat the heat. Hotter-than-hot days call for cool single-serve treats like this peach crisp for one. It's portable, pre-portioned, and perfect for when you want a quick summer dessert that serves just you.
Peach crisp, the perennial summer dessert classic, takes jar form in this recipe. It's also no-bake and endlessly adaptable: Try any stone fruit or berries in place of peaches, any nut in place of pecans, and any frozen yogurt or sorbet you like.
