Peach Crumble
Easy and Delightful Peach Crumble recipe
This peach crumble recipe is very closed to my heart. It is something that everyone in Quebec has had at least once in their life.
the story behind the recipe
Growing up, my mom used to make a crumble very often. She would substitute the fruits in the filing for anything that was in season or what was the cheapest. Most times it was apples, but she would sometimes surprise me with a mix of berries. I recommend fresh fruits, but you can also use frozen fruits.
My mom would make a big tray of crumble to keep in the fridge as a quick breakfast (it contains oats so it counts!), snack, or dessert. It was always such a warming feeling to come home with the smell of delicious and juicy fruits, topped with browned sugar and oats in the air.
This isn’t my mom’s official recipe, as she never really used one. I watched her so many times whipped this up so quickly. She would mix some fruits with sugar and flour to make a filling and then mix oats with some butter and flour to create a topping. After layering the filling and the topping in a baking dish, it would go in the oven until the house smelt like a bakery.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven at 350℉.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a stainless steel pan over medium-high heat, slightly toast the quick oats. When done, add to the bowl.
- Return the stainless steel pan to the stove over medium-low heat to melt the butter. When the butter is melted, add to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until combined or when it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

- Bake in the oven for roughly 40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden-brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Rest for an hour to set and enjoy topped with vanilla ice cream!
