Description
Pioneer Woman’s Peach Crumble is a delicious dessert made with fresh peaches and a simple, buttery crumble topping. The peaches are sweetened and flavored with cinnamon, then topped with a mixture of flour, sugar, butter, and oats that crisps up beautifully in the oven. The result is a dessert that’s both juicy and crunchy, with the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Peach Filling:
- 6–8 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and cornstarch. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the crumble topping: In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. 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.
- Assemble the crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Serve: Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
