Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 5–6 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice peaches evenly. Toss gently with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to enhance sweetness and prevent browning.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Crumble: Place the peach mixture evenly in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling at the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes to thicken juices. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
- Keep butter cold to achieve a crumbly, crispy topping.
- Do not overmix the crumble to prevent melting the butter prematurely.
- Spread topping evenly for consistent crunch.
- Adjust sugar if peaches are tart for balanced flavor.
- Fresh lemon juice brightens the peach flavor without overpowering it.
- Bake until the peach juices bubble to ensure fully cooked fruit.
