Juicy summer peaches are a perfect antidote to summer heat and their healthy dietary fiber will help fill you up. They also supply natural cancer-fighting phytochemicals and vitamins.

The crumbly cereal oatmeal topping adds fiber and crunch to this luscious baked peach dessert, which is hard to resist out of the oven. Great served warm with frozen vanilla yogurt for a treat. Any fruit, fresh or frozen, may be substituted for the peaches.
