Hey there, fellow foodies and dessert enthusiasts!
Today, I'm thrilled to share a delightful and oh-so-satisfying dessert that celebrates the goodness of fresh peaches - *Fresh Peach Crumble*! If you've got some juicy, ripe peaches on hand and are craving a dessert that's bursting with flavor and texture, this one's for you. 🍑🍮
I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe on The Spruce Eats, and let me tell you, it's a real winner! The link to the original recipe is right here: Fresh Peach Crumble with Spiced Topping.
Now, picture this: juicy, sun-kissed peaches, lovingly topped with a spiced crumble that's baked to perfection, creating a heavenly aroma that fills your home with warmth and comfort. Are you getting excited? Because I definitely am!
Let's get straight to the heart of this deliciousness. Here's what you'll need to make Fresh Peach Crumble:
Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 5 cups fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced into heavenly goodness!)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for that perfect touch of sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to help thicken those peach juices)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (because everything's better with a sprinkle of spice!)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (for that delightful crumbly texture)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work wonders here)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for that rich and caramel flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (to add a hint of warmth and coziness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (to balance out all those flavors)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, because butter makes everything better!)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that oven nice and toasty, just like your heart will be after tasting this dessert!
2. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the fresh peach slices with granulated sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Make sure those peaches get coated with all that goodness. Yum!
3. Take another bowl (a big one works best for easy mixing!), and combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix, and then add in the softened butter. Now, use your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until you get a crumbly, buttery mixture. Oh my, the aroma is already heavenly!
4. Time to assemble the magic! Grab a baking dish (8x8 inches is perfect), and spread the peach filling evenly at the bottom. Then, generously sprinkle the crumble topping all over those luscious peaches. The more crumble, the merrier!
5. Pop that baking dish into the preheated oven, and let the magic happen for about 30 to 35 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the topping turns golden brown, and those peach juices start bubbling away beautifully.
6. Now comes the hard part - waiting for the crumble to cool slightly. But don't worry, it won't be too long before you can dive into this deliciousness!
7. Serve this Fresh Peach Crumble warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Oh, the contrast of the warm, juicy peaches and the cool creaminess is pure heaven!
And there you have it, my fellow dessert enthusiasts - a delightful and comforting Fresh Peach Crumble that celebrates the beauty of seasonal peaches. It's a dessert that's perfect for family gatherings, lazy weekends, or just when you need a little sweetness in your life.
