Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Toss them in a bowl with the fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar.
  3. Place the peach halves cut side up in a single layer in a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, sliced almonds, all-purpose flour, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to blend dry ingredients.
  5. Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract over the oat mixture and stir until crumbly but slightly clumpy.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over each peach half.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peaches are soft and bubbling.
  8. Let the baked peaches rest for about 10 minutes after baking.
  9. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt and drizzle any extra syrup from the pan on top.

Notes

If the crumble browns too fast before peaches are tender, loosely cover the dish with foil. Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Use lemon juice to prevent peaches from browning and to brighten flavor. Can substitute coconut oil for butter for dairy-free version and almond flour for gluten-free. Frozen peaches can be used but may require longer baking time.
