Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
-
6–7 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (~6 cups)
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
Pinch of salt
For the Crumble Topping:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
-
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
-
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Prepare the peach filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are well coated. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
-
Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Assemble the crumble: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach filling, covering the fruit completely.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
-
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
-
For extra flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling.
-
Peach prep tip: To peel peaches easily, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water — skins will slip off effortlessly.
-
Make-ahead option: Assemble the filling and topping separately; store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, then bake just before serving.
-
Serving ideas: Top with vanilla bean ice cream, cinnamon whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a gourmet touch.
