1. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt using a fork or pastry cutter. Cut butter into small pieces and gradually add to the flour mixture until evenly mixed.
2. Pit and chop peaches into a bowl. Add the zest from half a lemon. Squeeze juice from half a lemon and stir in with peaches and zest. Add 2 tbsp real maple syrup (or pancake syrup) to peaches, stir well.
3. Pour peach mixture into a small pan (8" or 9" square) and cover evenly with crumb topping. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until crisp and brown on top.

Maple Cream Sauce

1. Pour whipping cream into a saucepan. Add 8 tbsp pancake syrup (or 5 tbsp real maple syrup and 3 tbsp agave or corn syrup) and stir over moderate heat until thickened and reduced by about one-third, approximately 15 minutes.
2. Refrigerate mixture until it is cold and thick, or set the saucepan into a small bowl of ice (the ice will melt and turn into ice water). Stirring your mixture, it will cool and thicken in about 15 minutes.
3. Drizzle sauce over peach crisp. Serve warm.
