Cherry Peach Crisp

Last time I went grocery shopping I went completely overboard with fruit. I got a big bunch of grapes for the hubby, bananas for the kiddle and a bag of peaches. Then I saw that cherries were super cheap, so I grabbed some of those too. Well, we haven't been eating that fruit as fast as I would have hoped, especially since we are eating zucchini at nearly every meal. (I should mention that the zucchini in my garden is growing like crazy.) I was trying to decide how I could use up some of that fruit. I thought maybe I could make peach crisp or cherry cobbler and then I got the brilliant idea to combine the peaches and the cherries into one dish. I prefer crisp over cobbler so Cherry Peach Crisp was born. Now, I'm sure I'm not the first person to have thought of this, but I'm still glad I thought of it, because it was delicious.
