Follow the step by step guide with detailed instruction photos to make this delicious peach oat crumble recipe.
Preheat oven to 360 degrees F (182 C) and prepare your baking dish. I'm using a square 9" non-stick baking dish, ceramic coated, so no need to grease it.
Step 1. Make The Crumble Topping First
Place you butter in the freezer for at least 1 hour before starting. Then, if you’re doing it by hand, use a grater: in a bowl, rub the frozen butter against the smaller grating surface on a box grater. Toss the frozen shreds of butter with flour until all pieces are coated.
If you have a food processor: add the cold butter and the flour to the bowl of a food processor and pulse the mixture until you have a chunky / crumb like mixture.
To the butter and flour mixture, add the rest of ingredients and mix to combine with a spatula this time.Place the crumb topping in the fridge while you make the rest.
Step 2. Prepare the peach filling:
Rinse the peaches and pat dry, cut into wedges. I do not peeled them and the peach crisp turned just fine!
Add sliced peaches to the baking dish. Add lemon juice, maple sugar, flour, cinnamon and cardamom.
Gently stir until coated. Using the same baking dish for mixing the ingredients will reduce the dirty dishes. Spread the peach filling in an even layer.
Step 3. Assemble the peach oat crumble and bake:
Sprinkle the crumbly oat topping over peaches. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
If using frozen peaches, the baking time could be 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Once it’s crisp and golden remove from oven and let it cool. Serve warm, cold or room temperature.
Notes
Flour – use one plain type or a mix (refined and whole grain). Finer (starchier) flours will yields a more golden brown surface. Whole grain flours are healthier but they will change the texture and flavor a bit. You can use oat flour combined with a finer flour for a healthier strawberry crumble.
Gluten free peach crisp: use a gluten free flour mix or your favorite store-bought brand.
Dairy free peach crumble: use vegan butter or coconut oil.
