Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups peach slices fresh or frozen, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating peaches
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to brighten the peaches
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats for the crumble topping
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peaches, covering the fruit completely with the topping.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. The crisp should have a crunchy topping and tender, fragrant fruit underneath.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle a little vanilla extract into the fruit mixture or add chopped nuts to the crumble topping. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
