Description
This Peach Crumble is a cozy, nostalgic dessert made with ripe peaches baked under a golden, buttery oat topping — easy to make and perfect for summer evenings or year-round comfort.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- Peel peaches if desired, slice into 1/4-inch wedges.
- Toss sliced peaches with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add cold butter and cut in with fingers or a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form.
- Spread peaches evenly in the dish, then top with the crumble mixture.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and bubbly around the edges.
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving to thicken juices.
Notes
- Cold butter is key for a crisp topping — do not use softened butter.
- Skip peeling peaches for a quicker prep and rustic texture.
- Top with nuts or spices like cardamom or ginger for variation.
- Reheat in oven to restore crispness, not microwave.
- Great served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
