This easy peach crumble features juicy peaches topped with a buttery, crunchy oat and brown sugar crust. It’s a quick, forgiving dessert perfect for summer and beyond.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4 cups or 600 grams)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (8 grams)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 grams)
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces (113 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (1 gram)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat evenly and let sit while preparing the topping.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches without packing it down.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the peach filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crunchy. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  7. Let the crumble cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy crumble. Cold butter is key for a crumbly topping. Cornstarch thickens the filling to prevent sogginess. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Substitute almond flour or gluten-free flour for gluten-free version; coconut oil for dairy-free.
