Equipment
- 9-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Pastry cutter or fork
- Measuring spoons & cups
- Peeler & knife
Ingredients
- 4-5 pieces ripe peaches peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp sugar for tossing peaches
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon optional, for flavor
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease your baking dish.
- Peel the peaches using a peeler or knife, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
- Toss the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, coating them evenly. Spread the peaches in your prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to distribute evenly.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches, pressing down gently to help it adhere.
- Bake the dish in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. Check at 35 minutes; if the topping is dark but the filling isn't bubbling, cover loosely with foil and continue baking.
- Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
