Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Pastry Cutter or Fork
- Peeler or knife
Ingredients
- 5 cups ripe peaches, sliced pitted and peeled if desired
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar optional, depending on peach sweetness
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice to brighten flavor and prevent browning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for the crumble topping
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats adds texture to topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed for crumbly topping
- 1/4 cup brown sugar for richer flavor in topping
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for warmth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat evenly, then spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and is evenly distributed.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the layered peaches, covering the surface completely to create a thick topping.
- Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10 minutes, allowing the juices to settle and the topping to become crisp.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
Using cold butter ensures a flaky, crumbly topping. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla for variation.
