Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the peaches, peel if desired, and place them in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with half of the sugar and gently toss to coat.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, remaining sugar, and cinnamon. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
- 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.
- Spoon the crumble mixture evenly over the peaches, covering them completely. Press lightly to create an even surface.
- 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.
- 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.
