A comforting summer dessert featuring tender peaches beneath a crunchy, buttery oat topping with a subtle nutty flavor and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (75g)
  • 1/4 cup ground almonds (25g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (113g or 1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice about 6 medium peaches into roughly 1/2-inch slices. Toss them gently in a mixing bowl with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let sit while preparing the topping.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup ground almonds, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour the peach mixture evenly into an 8×8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, covering all the fruit but not packing it down.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the crumble rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. For extra juicy peaches, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the fruit mixture to thicken. Peeling peaches is easier by scoring an ‘X’ on the bottom and blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water. Cold butter is key for crumbly topping; chill topping if butter softens. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can substitute almond flour or oat flour for gluten-free option and use plant-based butter for dairy-free.
