Seasonal peach and blueberry crisp

Seasonal peach and blueberry crisp – The peaches and blueberries are at their peak! I had to make a dessert with these juicy, ripe peaches and perfect blueberries. This dish does them justice, I think. I tried a cobbler, but it was too heavy for me, so I made another dessert. It’s a lighter crisp.
