Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 cups Fresh Peaches, diced Use ripe, local peaches when in season for the freshest flavor.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Can be substituted with monk fruit sweetener.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Enhances flavor and balances sweetness.
For the crust and topping
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Adds texture to the crumb topping.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar For sweetness and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened Can substitute with coconut oil for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For added flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to rest while you prepare the crumble.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the softened butter and add the vanilla extract, working until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assembly
  1. Firmly press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  2. Spread the peach mixture over the crust, covering it evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top of the peaches.
Baking
  1. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  2. Cool before slicing into squares. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes
