Blueberry Peach Pecan Crisp

I'm in love....with summer! I just can't get enough of the fresh flavors of this season! My farmer's market had the juiciest sweetest-smelling sun-kissed peaches and succulent blueberries today! A fresh fruit crisp, in my humble opinion, is the perfect way to enjoy these fruits together. Juicy sweetness smothered under a buttery sweet cinnamon topping makes for a beautiful summer evening....and if you dare, top it with a little ice cream!
