Juicy peaches beneath a golden cinnamon-scented topping, perfect for summer evenings served warm.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit Filling
01 - 6 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (approximately 2.2 pounds)
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Crumble Topping
08 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
09 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
10 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
11 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
13 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine peach slices, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt. Toss thoroughly until peaches are evenly coated with the spice mixture. Transfer to prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and work into dry ingredients using fingers or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
04 - Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over peach filling. Bake for 35 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit filling is bubbling around edges.
05 - Let crumble rest for 10 minutes to allow filling to set slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
