Peach Crumble
- For the Filling
- 2 lbs. Peaches, peeled, halved, pitted and sliced
- ⅓ Cup Sugar
- 1¼ tsp Cornstarch
- 3 - 5 tsp Lemon Juice
- Pinch Salt
- Pinch Cinnamon
- *Sugar – this will depend on the ripeness/quality of fruit – add half; then more if needed.
- 1 tablespoon of cold butter cubed and distributed on the filling.
- For the Crumble
- I used one half of the Coffee Cake Streusel.
- I left out the nutmeg and added almonds.
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- ¼ pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup of almonds
- Mise en place ~ Gather Ingredients
- Prepare baking dish or dishes – Give a generous smear of butter.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Line a jellyroll pans with parchment or use a silicone mat.
- For the Filling
- Squeeze some fresh lemon into your mixing bowl.
- Peel and slice peaches; toss gently so each slice is coated with lemon to avoid darkening.
- Sprinkle half the sugar over peaches in a large bowl; let macerate for 10 minutes. Taste for sweetness; if needed add in the remaining sugar.
- Stir and macerate for another 20 minutes.
- Drain the peach juice; reserve ¼ cup of the juice.
- Whisk reserved peach juice with cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt; add to peaches.
- Place in individual ramekins or in one 8 x 8 pan.
- For the Crumble or Streusel
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Drizzle Vanilla into mixture.
- Stir in melted butter; place into refrigerator while waiting for the peaches.
- Spread crumble on the parchment-lined jellyroll pan; break into crumble.
- Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
- Add in almonds; bake another 5 minutes; watch so almonds don’t burn.
- Dot filling with butter cubes.
- Add baked crumble topping to the peaches; break any larger chunks.
- Place the ramekin or baking dish on the jellyroll pan; bake for about 20 minutes.
- If you are baking one large dish, it may take up to 25 minutes.
- Start checking at 20 minutes. If it is bubbling it’s done. Mine took about 25 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes; serve warm - Preferably with some ice cream.
