A warm, comforting dessert featuring ripe peaches baked under a nutty brown butter crumble, perfect for a quick and easy seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peach halves with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat and set aside for about 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it foams, turns golden brown, and releases a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, chopped nuts (if using), cinnamon, and sea salt. Pour the browned butter over the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture clumps into coarse crumbs.
  5. Arrange the peach halves cut side up in a baking dish. Spoon the brown butter crumble evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown and peaches are tender and bubbling.
  7. Let the baked peaches rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning; stir constantly and watch for a golden brown color and nutty aroma. If crumble edges brown too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. For gluten-free, use almond flour and certified gluten-free oats.
