Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced about 4 large peaches
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for sweetening the peaches
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to brighten the fruit filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth to the filling
  • 1 cup rolled oats for the crunchy topping
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour binds the crumble topping
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar sweetens and adds moisture to the topping
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed helps create a crumbly texture
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the topping
  • a pinch salt balances sweetness

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon until well coated. Spread the peach mixture evenly in a baking dish.
  2. In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Crumble the oat topping evenly over the peach filling, pressing lightly to adhere. The topping should cover the fruit completely with some larger crumbs for texture.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, until bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. The crumble should be fragrant, with a crunchy topping and tender, caramelized peaches underneath.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the fruit filling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
