Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches about 6-7 large peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Oatmeal Crumble Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
If using fresh peaches, bring a large pot of water to boil. Cut a small X at the bottom of each peach, then submerge in boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer immediately to an ice bath. The skins will slip off effortlessly.
In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingertips to work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
Transfer the peach mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the oatmeal crumble topping over the peaches, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. If your topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Vegan alternative: Replace butter with coconut oil or plant-based butter.
No fresh peaches? Use 6 cups of frozen peaches (no need to thaw).
For reduced sugar, use 2 tablespoons of honey in the filling and 1/2 cup coconut sugar in the topping.
Store at room temperature, covered with a tea towel, for up to 2 days or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
