Peach Crisp Filling

This is a simple fruit crisp filling recipe that works wonderful for fresh, canned, or frozen fruit. You are not limited to peaches. I have done this fruit crisp successfully with all different kinds of berries, as well as nectarines, pears, apricots, etc. Pretty much everything, except apples. I have a separate recipe for Apple Crisp Filling. Choose your favorite fresh, canned, or frozen fruit, make a batch of Fruit Crisp Crumble Topping (see separate recipe) and have fun!
