A quick and easy peach crumble featuring ripe peaches with a sweet, crunchy oat topping, perfect for summer or year-round enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Pinch of ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, pit, and slice peaches to yield about 4 cups. Toss peaches with lemon juice in a large bowl.
  2. Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg to the peaches. Stir gently to coat evenly.
  3. Pour peach mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add vanilla extract.
  5. Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peach filling.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  8. Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to thicken the filling and maintain crunchy topping.

Notes

Use firm peaches for best texture; frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Cold butter is key for a crumbly topping. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Stir filling before baking to distribute spices evenly. Optional nuts add extra crunch. Rest crumble before serving for best texture.
