Description

This delightful baked peaches recipe features juicy ripe peaches topped with a buttery oat crumble, baked to golden perfection. Served warm, it makes a comforting dessert with optional vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce toppings for extra indulgence.


Ingredients

Peaches

  • 3 ripe peaches

Oat Crumble Topping

  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into pieces

Optional Toppings

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Caramel sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F to prepare for baking the peaches.
  2. Make the Oat Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and cut them into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture forms small crumbly pieces.
  3. Prepare the Peaches: Peel the peaches if desired or leave the skin on. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Place the peach halves face-up in a small baking pan, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  4. Assemble the Dessert: Spoon a generous amount of the oat crumble topping onto the center of each peach half, covering the exposed flesh.
  5. Bake the Peaches: Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the oat crumble topping turns golden brown and the peaches are soft.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle caramel sauce over the peaches for extra flavor and richness.

Notes

  • You can peel the peaches if you prefer a smoother texture, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and color.
  • The baking time can vary slightly depending on the size and ripeness of the peaches; check for softness and golden topping.
  • For a gluten-free variation, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven for best texture.
  • This dessert pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream if you prefer over ice cream.
