Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the peach filling

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.

Pro tip: Ensure peaches are ripe but firm for the best texture.

Make the crumble topping

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pro tip: Keep the butter cold for a flakier crumble.

Assemble the crumble

Transfer the peach mixture into a baking dish (about 23x23 cm or 9x9 inches) and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches.

Pro tip: Press the topping lightly to ensure it adheres to the peaches.

Bake the crumble

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling.

Cool and serve

Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Pro tip: Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
