  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Peaches

  • 4 cups of fresh, ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans)
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for extra zing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Choose juicy, ripe peaches. Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to peel easily. Slice the peaches evenly. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using, stir in chopped nuts.
  3. Assemble the Crumble: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the peach mixture evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle lemon juice over the peaches if desired. Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the peaches, pressing slightly to adhere.
  4. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  5. Serve: Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Peach Selection: Use firm yet ripe peaches for the best texture.
  • Butter: Ensure the butter is cold to achieve a crispy topping.
  • Customization: Feel free to add berries or different nuts for varied flavors and textures.
