Baked Peaches
Description
This simple dessert starts with halving ripe peaches to expose their tender centers. The crumb topping is prepared by combining all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold salted butter cut into small pieces, which creates a coarse mixture that browns attractively in the oven. The peach halves are topped with a generous spoonful of this topping and baked at 375°F until the crumble is golden and crisp.
The texture contrasts the soft, fragrant peaches with the sweet, slightly spiced crumb crust enriched with butter. Serving the peaches warm enhances their flavor and softness, while optional vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce adds creaminess and richness as finishing touches.
The recipe calls for freestone peaches to ease pitting and recommends choosing fruit that yields slightly under gentle pressure. Preparing the crumb topping ahead of time is possible, and homemade caramel sauce can be made in advance and stored well chilled.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons rolled oats old-fashioned
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons butter cut into pieces, cold, salted
- vanilla ice cream optional, for topping
- caramel sauce optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Oat Crumble Topping: In a small bowl mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or fork into very small pieces.
- Prep Peaches: Peel peaches, or keep the skin on. Slice in half and remove the pit. Place the peaches face-up in a small baking pan.
- Assemble: Add a big spoonful of crumb topping to the center of each peach.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until crumb topping is golden brown.
- Serve with a scoop of ice cream and/or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Crum topping can be prepared several days before baking and stored in the refrigerator.
- Homemade caramel sauce may be made weeks ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
- Freestone peaches are preferred for easy pit removal compared to clingstone varieties.
- Select ripe peaches that yield gently to touch for best texture and flavor.
