It's been a long Summer and all I've wanted to do is bake. I don't want to make regular food, just cookies, pies, cobblers, biscuits and all that yummy good stuff that comes out golden brown and delicious.
Since Boyfriend and I are heading out of town to meet friends at a Michigan beach house, I had to take extra precautions to limit grocery store spending. After all, what's the point in having a fully stocked fridge when you're going to be out of town?
I bought a few peaches a few days ago, hoping that they were going to become afternoon snacks or a fresh fruity dessert to my packed lunch for work. It didn't turn out that way. The peaches were getting ripe and I had no desire to just eat then as they were. But from this not so tragic incident, come opportunity. A small peach crumble for those with not enough peaches for a square pan, and only two mouths to feed.
Topping:
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup chopped almonds, raw
1 1/2 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
Filling:
3 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into slices
1/8 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp corn starch
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of nutmeg
whipped cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine all of topping ingredients and smash with a fork until combined. It should have the consistency of crumbs.
In a medium bowl, combine all of filling ingredients and stir to coat peaches. In a bread pan (like the banana bread kind) pour the filling and spread evenly over the bottom of pan. Then top with the crumb/ granola-like topping.
Bake in oven until filling juices are bubbling and topping is crisp. About 25-35 minutes.
After baking, let rest for a few minutes and scoop into a bowl with whipped cream.
The whipped cream helps to add a little more decadence to the peaches, but ice cream is also highly recommended. Enjoy!
