Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 3 ripe peaches
Oat 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 topping
- Caramel sauce, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the peaches.
- Make Oat Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, salted butter pieces and use a pastry blender or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small crumbs.
- Prepare Peaches: Peel the peaches if desired, or leave the skin on. Slice the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Arrange the peach halves face-up in a small baking dish.
- Assemble: Spoon a generous amount of the oat crumble topping onto the center of each peach half, covering the exposed flesh.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the oat crumble topping is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Make the crumble topping ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for several days to save time when preparing the dessert.
- Homemade caramel sauce can be made weeks in advance and stored in the fridge, making this dessert easy to assemble on short notice.
- Use freestone peaches rather than clingstone varieties to easily remove the pits.
- Choose ripe peaches that yield slightly when gently pressed to ensure sweetness and juiciness.
