Instructions
Prepare the peaches
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Slice the peaches and place them in a large bowl.
Mix the filling
Toss the peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
Make the crumble topping
In another bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
Assemble
Spread the peach filling into a greased baking dish and sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Cool and serve
Let the crumble cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Use good ingredients: Choose ripe fruit, fresh herbs, or quality pantry ingredients because simple recipes depend on good flavor.
- Let it rest when needed: Resting helps fillings thicken, baked desserts set, and finished dishes slice or serve more cleanly.
- Adjust to taste: Taste and adjust sugar, lemon juice, salt, herbs, or seasoning to match your ingredients.
Substitutions
- Use frozen fruit when needed: Frozen fruit can work in many baked fruit desserts and jams if excess liquid is managed.
- Make it your style: Add cinnamon, vanilla, citrus zest, herbs, nuts, or a different topping to fit the recipe.
- Use what you have: Similar pans, dishes, or serving pieces can work as long as the food has room to cook evenly.
