Scale
Let’s get into the heart of the matter: the ingredients. Each one plays a crucial role in building that cozy, comforting flavor profile that defines this dish. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, browned
Feel free to swap the peaches for nectarines if that’s what you have on hand, or even mix in some berries for an added layer of flavor. This recipe is all about flexibility, much like the meals my mom would craft on the fly.
Instructions
This is where the magic happens. Follow these steps to create a dessert that’s as delightful to make as it is to eat.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat evenly, then spread the peaches in the prepared baking dish.
- To brown the butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the browned butter over the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. The aroma will be irresistible, so don’t be surprised if the kids come running into the kitchen!
