Peach Crumble Recipe

Servings : 6

Components :

For the Filling :

• 6-8 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar adjust based on peach sweetness
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour for thickening
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

For the Crumble Topping :

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

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven :

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar-sized baking dish.

2. Prepare the Filling :

• In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon if using.
• Toss until the peaches are evenly coated, then spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

3. Make the Crumble Topping :

• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
• Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers, a pastry cutter, or a fork to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Assemble the Crumble :

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach filling.

5. Bake :

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.

6. Cool and Serve :

Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
