Homemade Peach Crumble (Print Version)

Juicy peaches under a buttery, golden-brown topping - a comforting dessert perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

# What You’ll Need:

→ For the Peach Filling

01 - 6-8 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ For the Crumble Topping

04 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
05 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
06 - 1/4 cup almond flour (optional)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

# How to Make It:

01 - If using fresh peaches, wash, peel, and slice them. If using frozen, thaw them slightly and drain any excess liquid. Place the sliced peaches in a bowl.
02 - Sprinkle the peaches with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, almond flour (if using), cinnamon, and salt.
04 - Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
05 - Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish or similar. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches, making sure to cover the surface. Gently press down.
06 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
07 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own.
