Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 3 ripe peaches
Crumble Topping
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into pieces
Optional Toppings
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Caramel sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your peaches evenly.
- Prepare the oat crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry blender or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms small, coarse crumbs.
- Prepare the peaches: Either peel the peaches or leave the skin on based on your preference. Slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pits. Arrange the peach halves face-up in a small baking pan.
- Assemble the dessert: Spoon a generous amount of the oat crumble topping onto the center of each peach half, spreading gently.
- Bake the peaches: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns a golden brown color and the peaches are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: You can prepare the oat crumble topping several days in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Homemade caramel sauce can also be made weeks ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Peach Selection: Use freestone peaches instead of clingstone varieties to easily remove the pits. Choose peaches that are ripe but firm with a slight give when gently pressed to ensure optimal sweetness and texture.
