Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
-
6-8 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Crumble Topping:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
-
1/4 cup almond flour (optional)
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
-
Prepare the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, wash, peel, and slice them. If using frozen, thaw them slightly and drain any excess liquid. Place the sliced peaches in a bowl.
-
Season the Peaches: Sprinkle the peaches with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
-
Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, almond flour (if using), cinnamon, and salt.
-
Add the Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Assemble the Crumble: Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish or similar. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches, making sure to cover the surface. Gently press down.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
-
Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own.
Notes
-
Variations: Add berries like raspberries or blueberries to the peach filling. Incorporate chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) or rolled oats into the crumble topping. Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger.
-
Tips: Use cold butter for the crumble topping to achieve a crumbly texture. Do not overfill the baking dish to avoid a soggy bottom.
-
Intolerances/Allergies: This recipe can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend in the crumble topping. Ensure all ingredients are sourced from facilities that prevent cross-contamination. For a dairy-free option use plant based butter.
-
Taste Adjustments: Adjust sugar levels to your preference. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice to the peach filling for brightness.
