Description
Juicy peach halves roast until tender under a golden oat-crumble spiced with cinnamon, then crowned with chilling vanilla ice cream that melts into warm fruit, creating a harmony of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 4 peaches
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Halve the peaches and remove the pits, then place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the peaches and sprinkle granulated sugar evenly.
- In a bowl combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Melt the butter and pour it into the oat mixture, stirring until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Distribute the oat crumble evenly over the peaches.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the peaches are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Notes
- You can substitute peaches with nectarines for a tangy variation.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble.
