Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s fully heated before placing your dessert inside.
-
-
Prepare the peaches: Take your fresh peaches, peel and slice them evenly. Arrange the peach slices in a 2-quart, ovenproof, deep casserole dish, making sure the slices are spread evenly for consistent baking.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir them together to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
-
Incorporate the butter: Cut 1/2 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour-sugar mixture. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be well-incorporated but not completely melted, so work quickly and gently.
-
Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the prepared peach slices in the casserole dish. Ensure the entire surface is covered with a generous layer of the topping. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the peaches are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve: Once the topping is beautifully browned and the peaches are bubbling, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. This delicious dessert is perfect served warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for Perfect Peach Luscious
- Peach Selection: For the best flavor, choose ripe peaches that are firm yet slightly soft to the touch. They should be fragrant with a sweet, natural aroma.
- Butter Alternatives: If you prefer a slightly lighter version, you can replace the unsalted butter with a plant-based alternative such as coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute.
- Adding Spices: If you enjoy a bit more complexity, feel free to add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry mixture for a warming, aromatic flavor.
This Simple Peach Luscious recipe is a delightful, sweet dessert that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion. The tender peach slices paired with the golden, crumbly topping create a satisfying treat that everyone will love. Enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of this timeless dessert!
