Peach Crumble

Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 lbs firm-ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thickly sliced
• 3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• vanilla ice cream (or whipped cream)

Recipe

• 1 coat the slow-cooker with cooking spray or grease with butter.
• 2 put the fruit in the cooker, cover, and cook on high for 30 minutes.
• 3 meanwhile, make the topping: in a bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• 4 cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips; set aside.
• 5 after the 30 minutes, spread the topping evenly over the fruit, leaving a ½-inch border without topping to prevent burning.
• 6 cover and decrease heat to low; cook 2 ½ to 3 hours until the fruit is tender.
• 7 test by sticking a knife into the center of the crumble; when the knife passes through the fruit with little resistance, the crumble is done.
• 8 uncover and let cool for 10 minutes before serving; if desired, top with ice cream or whipped cream.
