Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 5 to 6 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (or coconut oil/vegan butter for vegan version)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped almonds or pecans (for nutty topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches into even pieces. Toss them in a large bowl with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to accentuate their natural sweetness and keep them vibrant during baking.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats (if using), and cinnamon. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble the Crumble: Spread the peach filling evenly in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the peaches, ensuring full coverage for a crisp finish.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled crumble for 35 to 40 minutes until the peach filling bubbles and the topping turns golden brown.

Notes

  • Use firm peaches that hold their shape to avoid a watery filling.
  • Keep butter cold to create little pockets of richness in the crumble topping.
  • Adjust sugar depending on the natural sweetness of your peaches.
  • Let the crumble cool for about 10 minutes after baking to allow the juices to thicken.
  • Adding oats to the topping introduces a pleasant chewiness.
