Peach Crumble
Description
By melting the butter, instead of having to cut it in with a pasty cutter, I've simplified this recipe to make it quick enough to whip up even on the busiest of days--and bonus--I actually like the results of this method better than the traditional method!
A note on the baking vessel for this recipe. I chose to bake this in a 10" cast iron skillet that I've had for about 4 years now. It has a good, deep seasoning coat on it. Do not attempt to make this recipe in a brand new cast iron pan--due to the acid in the recipe, it will likely strip the seasoning off. No fair asking me how I know ;-)
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place peach slices into a bowl and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of brown sugar and all the lemon juice on them. Set them aside and let them macerate while you're preparing the crumble.
-
In another bowl, mix together the remainder of the sugar, the flour, oats, salt and cinnamon.
-
Melt the butter in the microwave, and then pour over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, so everything is incorporated.
-
Pour the macerated peaches into a well-seasoned 10" cast iron skillet, or a 10" casserole dish. Top with the butter and dry ingredient mixture. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top of the crumble is getting golden brown.
