Peach crumble is a cozy and sweet dessert featuring juicy, sun-ripened peaches topped with a golden, buttery, crisp crumble. Easy to prepare and bursting with seasonal freshness, this dessert perfectly balances tender fruit and a crumbly topping, making it ideal for any occasion from casual dinners to celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 5–6 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional and to taste)

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches into even chunks. Toss them gently with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and sugar to enhance their natural sweetness and prevent browning.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter cubes, and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture forms crumbly pea-sized clumps.
  3. Assemble in a Baking Dish: Grease a shallow baking dish. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the dish, then sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the peaches so they are completely covered.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled crumble for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve Warm: Allow the peach crumble to cool slightly to help the juices thicken. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm peaches to avoid a mushy crumble.
  • Keep the butter cold to achieve a flakier crumble topping.
  • Mix crumble ingredients only until pea-sized crumbs form for the best texture.
  • Adjust added sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches.
  • Use a wide, shallow baking dish for an even bake and crispier topping.
