Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 cups fresh peaches pitted and sliced (about 8 medium peaches)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Healthy Crumble Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed, or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes, or coconut oil for vegan option

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or 6 individual ramekins.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch until everything is evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the crumble topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Cut in the butter (or coconut oil) using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Do not overmix.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish. Ensure the peaches are mostly covered.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of Greek yogurt or vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, you can add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping mixture. If peaches are very ripe, you may reduce the maple syrup slightly.
