Ridiculously Easy Fresh Peach Crumble
Description
The recipe begins by tossing peeled or unpeeled peach slices with fresh lemon juice and zest to brighten their natural sweetness and prevent browning. Flour and sugar are sprinkled over the fruit to absorb juices and lightly thicken the filling as it bakes.
The crumble topping combines melted salted butter with almond flour, all-purpose flour, and sugar, stirred until crumbly. This topping provides a textured, golden layer once baked, adding a mild nuttiness from the almond flour that complements the peach's flavor.
After baking at 350°F until the crumble is lightly browned and the peaches are bubbly underneath, this dessert is best served warm. It pairs nicely with vanilla ice cream or cream, enhancing the warmth and sweetness with creaminess. The recipe’s straightforward method and simple ingredients make it a reliable choice for showcasing fresh stone fruit during peach season.
Ingredients
For the fruit layer:
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 8 peach pitted and sliced (no need to peel, medium size
- lemon finely grated zest from 1 medium
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
For the crumble topping:
- ½ cup butter (I use salted)
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and set aside.
- Place peaches in a shallow, 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and lemon zest. Combine flour and sugar in a small bowl then sprinkle over the peaches. Stir gently to distribute the flour.
- Place butter in a medium-size, microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high power for 1 minute.
- Add the all-purpose flour, almond flour and sugar to the melted butter. Stir with a fork until crumbles form. Take handfuls of the topping and sprinkle over the top of the peaches. Place pan on the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until topping is light golden brown and peaches are bubbly. Check after 40 minutes and cover with foil if the topping is getting too brown but the peaches still are not bubbly.
- Serve warm in bowls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a splash of cream. Delish!
