About

Every year, the Heisman Memorial Trophy® is awarded to the most outstanding player in college football. In the spirit, the name should only be invoked by the most outstanding dessert! The Heisman® Crumble sautés fresh, floral, juicy peaches in butter, sugar, and spices until it becomes tender and sweet, then tops it with a cookie crumble and crunchy, buttery pecans. Baked golden-brown and served with ice cream, the Heisman Crumble can certainly go the distance; it's already a champion in the eyes of your taste buds!
