The crisp is wonderful but the Maple Cream Sauce is the ultimate finishing sauce.

2-1/2 pound peach slices, fresh or thawed frozen
1 lemon
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces butter or margarine, softened

Maple Cream Sauce:
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons Karo® Light Corn Syrup
Garnish with cinnamon maple sprinkle
Directions

Place peaches in  a greased half steam table pan. Zest and juice the lemon.  Add lemon peel, juice and 1/4 cup maple syrup; mix well.

Combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.  Cut in butter with pastry blender or two forks.  Crumble over peaches.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until peaches are tender.  If top is getting too brown, cover with foil.

To make the Maple Cream Sauce:  Combine whipping cream, 1/3 cup maple syrup and corn syrup in a small saucepan.  Bring to a low boil and cook for about 15 minutes, until mixture is thickened and reduced by about one third.
