Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them in half, carefully removing the pits. Arrange the peach halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients until well blended.
- Pour the melted butter over the dry oat mixture. Use a fork to mix until the ingredients form a crumbly, slightly clumpy texture.
- Generously sprinkle the oat crumble mixture over each peach half, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. The dish can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- For best presentation, serve immediately while the crumble is still warm and the ice cream is slightly melting.
Tips
- • Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. They should yield slightly when gently pressed but not be mushy. • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the crumble mixture. • Make sure to cut the peaches evenly to ensure uniform baking. • If the crumble starts browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil. • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend. • Serve immediately for the best contrast between the warm, crispy crumble and cold, creamy ice cream. • This dessert can be prepared ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
