Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches peeled, pitted, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to balance sweetness
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • Pinch salt
  • Optional fresh mint or edible flowers for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish
  • pastry cutter or fork
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar and lemon juice, tossing gently to coat. Spread the mixture evenly in a baking dish.
  2. In another bowl, make the streusel topping by combining flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the peaches, covering the surface completely.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. For a decorative touch, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh mint or edible flowers if desired.
  6. Scoop warm portions into bowls, ensuring each serving gets plenty of the luscious fruit and crunchy topping. Enjoy this classic dessert with a twist for a delightful treat.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the peach filling.
