Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large peaches peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar to enhance fruit sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to brighten flavor and prevent browning
  • 1 cup rolled oats for the crumble topping
  • 1/2 cup almond flour adds nuttiness and helps create a crumbly texture
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar for richness in the topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional, for warmth and aroma

Equipment

  • Pie dish or baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar and lemon juice until well coated. Spread the mixture evenly into your baking dish, then set aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the cold butter into the mixture, pressing until it resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces.
  3. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach filling, covering the fruit completely for an even bake.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
  5. Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly—this helps the filling thicken and makes serving easier. The aroma of baked peaches and toasted oats should fill your kitchen.
  6. Serve the warm peach crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired, enjoying the combination of tender fruit and crispy topping.

Notes

For a more rustic look, you can use chopped almonds in the crumble topping. Adjust the sugar depending on the ripeness of your peaches. Best enjoyed warm straight from the oven.
