Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches, sliced peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup raw sugar for sweetness and caramelization
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats toasted for crunch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for the crumble topping
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for warm flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the peaches, peel if desired, and place them in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with half of the sugar and gently toss to coat.
  3. Pour the coated peaches into a baking dish, spreading them into an even layer. The fruit should be juicy and slightly caramelized around the edges.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, remaining sugar, and cinnamon. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, work the butter into the oats and flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces.
  6. Spoon the crumble mixture evenly over the peaches, covering them completely. Press lightly to create an even surface.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. The aroma of baked peaches and toasted oats will fill your kitchen.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. The topping will be crisp, and the peaches will be tender and syrupy.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the peaches before baking. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
