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.
