A simple yet unforgettable peach crumble featuring juicy peaches and a crispy, nutty brown butter oat streusel topping. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g), adjust based on peach sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), browned
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (110g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, 40g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. In a bowl, toss peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Pour browned butter into a mixing bowl. Add rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until combined. Fold in nuts if using.
  5. Pour peach mixture evenly into a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread oat streusel topping evenly over peaches.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until peach juices bubble and topping is golden brown and crispy. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, add more cornstarch or bake a few extra minutes to avoid soggy bottom. Let crumble cool before serving to set filling. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Brown butter slowly and carefully to avoid burning. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with browned coconut oil.
