I think this was a Harlequin or Silhouette romance.  I believe it was from the 90's.  This book had the most wonderful peach crisp recipe inside as a separate page.  I have made this many times, but still referred to that after I had torn it out of book.  Now, I have misplaced the recipe.  I want to say it was called Suzanne's or Susanna's Peach Crisp.  I've tested other recipes, but this one just hit the spot and was delicious.

If you have the book, I'd love to either order it from you or you could just PM me with the recipe.  OR, if you happen to have an awesome tasting one, I'd love that too.  NOT a cobbler...a crisp.

Thanks so much in advance!!

Hope this is helpful:

These proportions fill a 9 x 9 inch baking pan...

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Fruit of your choice (enough slices to fill your baking pan)
1 cup of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
6 tablespoons of melted butter (and a little extra butter to rub over the bottom of your baking pan)

Rub the bottom and sides of your baking dish with a little soft butter...
Slice enough fruit to fill your baking pan. I used six medium size pears.

In a separate bowl, whisk your egg and add the flour, sugar, and salt... hand or spoon mix into a very loose crumble... sprinkle over the fruit mixture...

Then drizzle the melted butter as evenly as possible over the crumble mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until the top is bubbling and has begun to turn a crisp brown...

You can serve your cobbler all by itself... or with a dollop of french vanilla ice cream, or mascarpone, or even whipped cream... Other variations are to add a little nutmeg to the fruit or crumble, you can cut back on the sugar, or exchange half of the flour with oatmeal. I always come back though... to this pure essence of the recipe and it never, ever fails me... yum... Enjoy!

what's a crisp? I've heard of cobblers but not crisps..is it like a cookie?

It usually has an oatmeal, crumbly, sometimes nutty mixture all over the top.  I like it so much better than a cobbler. 

yum, sounds good! I read a lot of romance but dont' recall a recipe in any of them but hopefully between here and the love/romance forum we'll find the recipe!

I posted this recipe in the romance thread, but thought I would share it here too, in case anyone else wants it.

1can (29oz) or 2 smaller cans sliced peaches in syrup

1/3c plus 1T sugar, divided

1T cornstarch
