Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey preferably wildflower or local variety
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger fresh grated if possible
  • 1 cup rolled oats plain, gluten-free if desired
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free alternative
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking Dish
  • Oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Peeler

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, pit, and slice the peaches, then transfer them to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with ground ginger, tossing gently to coat the fruit evenly.
  2. Spoon the coated peaches into a buttered baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.
  6. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
    Smell the toasted oats and cinnamon aroma filling your kitchen as the dish finishes baking.
  7. Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly to allow the juices to set. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For a spiced variation, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture. Using fresh ginger enhances flavor, but ground ginger works well too. Serve with your favorite toppings for added indulgence.
