A quick and easy fall dessert featuring tender baked peaches topped with a crunchy cinnamon oat crumble. Perfect for cozy evenings and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (85g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: A handful of chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and halve 4 large peaches, removing the pits. Toss them gently in a bowl with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside to marinate.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  4. Pour 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter over the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the topping is crumbly but holds together when pressed. Fold in chopped nuts if using.
  5. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Arrange the peach halves cut side up in a single layer. Spoon the crumble evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until peaches are tender and the crumble is golden brown and crispy. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the crumble to crisp up.

Notes

If peaches are overly ripe and juicy, drain some liquid before baking to avoid soggy bottom. Toast oats lightly before mixing for extra flavor. Use rolled oats, not instant, for best texture. Melt butter and let cool slightly before mixing to avoid gummy topping. Tent with foil if crumble browns too fast. Frozen peaches can be used but reduce baking time by 5-10 minutes.
