Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking dish greased
- 1 mixing bowl large
- 1 pastry cutter
Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 5-6 fresh peaches peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and a perfectly golden topping.
- Wash, peel, and slice the peaches. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and vanilla extract, tossing gently to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
Serving
- Enjoy your peach crumble warm, paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Storage
- Store any leftover crumble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
