Peach Crumble
Peach Crumble is a baked dessert featuring sliced peaches mixed with brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon, topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, sugar, pecans, and butter. The topping bakes to a golden crust while the peaches become tender and juicy. This dessert offers a combination of sweet and slightly tangy peach filling beneath a textured, buttery crumble. It is ideal for using ripe peaches and serves well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds peach sliced (and peeled if desired, about 6 cups
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/4 cup butter melted and cooled, unsalted

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease or butter a 13x9 casserole dish. Set aside.
- Place peaches in a large mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Toss to coat. Spread peaches into an even layer in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- To make the topping, combine flour, sugar, pecans (if using), baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in egg until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the peaches, then drizzle butter over topping.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned and filling is bubbling around the edges. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
