FARM FRESH PEACH CRUMBLE
Enjoy the taste of Summer with this irresistible peach crumble made from farm fresh local peaches topped with a sweet vanilla glaze - trust me, you NEED to try this!
Ingredients:
For the Crumble Crust and Topping:
• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (can use vegan/DF butter - same measurements), cold and cut into small pieces
For the Peach Filling:
• 3 cups fresh-picked local peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
For the Vanilla Icing Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered (icing) sugar
• 2-4 tablespoons milk (dairy-free if needed)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1 Preheat the Oven:
2 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
3 Prepare the Crust and Topping:
4 In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside about 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
5 Press the Crust:
6 Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
7 Make the Peach Filling:
8 In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
9 Assemble the crumble:
10 Spread the peach filling evenly over the prepared crust in the baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top to create the crumble topping.
11 Bake:
12 Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
13 Prepare the Vanilla Icing Glaze:
14 In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (slowly add until reached desired consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth.
15 Allow the crumble to cool completely in the baking dish. Drizzle the vanilla icing glaze over the crumble before serving.
Enjoy on its own, or pair with some ice cream!
