Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled (optional), pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel (optional), pit, and slice fresh peaches into even pieces. Toss them in a bowl with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour to coat the fruit and help thicken the natural juices as it bakes.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  3. Assemble the Crumble: Spread the peach mixture evenly in a baking dish. Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches, ensuring it covers the fruit completely to create a golden crust.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is crisp, golden brown, and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the Peach Crumble cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken and flavors to develop fully.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Do not skip coating the fruit with flour to avoid a runny filling after baking.
  • Use cold butter for a flakier, crumbly topping texture.
  • Let the crumble rest after baking to enhance the consistency and flavor.
  • Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor and prevents the peaches from browning.
