🥘Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crumble Topping

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
3In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
4Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
5In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
6Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
7Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach filling, covering it completely.
8Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
9Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is bubbly around the edges and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
10Let the crumble cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to set.

📝Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use certified gluten-free oats. If your peaches are very ripe and sweet, you can reduce the sugar in the filling to 2 tablespoons.

Leftover peach crumble keeps well in the fridge for a few days. I like to reheat it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes so the topping gets crispy again.

You can also microwave individual servings for a quick treat but the topping will be softer. This crumble is wonderful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

It also tastes great cold right out of the fridge the next morning. For a fun twist serve it warm over pancakes or waffles for a special breakfast.

This recipe is always a good idea for family gatherings because it is easy to make ahead and everyone loves it.
