Description
A simple and comforting dessert featuring juicy peaches under a crunchy, buttery topping, perfect for summer nights.
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling
- 5 peaches, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch slices (Use ripe but firm peaches.)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Crumble Topping
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (Helps create a lighter crumb.)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 stick butter, melted (1 stick equals 8 tablespoons.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Toss the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour. Add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Spoon the peaches and their juices into an 8- or 9-inch baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
Crumble Topping
- In a bowl, mix 1 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
- Add 1/2 cup sugar and stir. Pour in the melted butter and mix until clumps form.
- Scatter the topping over the peaches, pressing lightly in some places for it to stick.
Baking
- Bake at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes until the filling bubbles and the topping is golden.
- If the topping browns too fast, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or yogurt. For texture, reheat in an oven when storing leftovers.
