Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the peaches
Drain most of the syrup from canned peaches, leaving just a little for moisture.
In a bowl, mix peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Tip: Toss gently so peaches stay intact.
3. Assemble filling
Pour the peach mixture into your baking dish and spread evenly.
4. Make the topping
In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon.
Add cold butter and mix until crumbly.
Tip: Use your fingers or a fork—don’t overmix.
5. Add topping
Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peaches.
6. Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
Doneness cue: You should see thick peach juices gently bubbling.
If you enjoy baked fruit desserts, a cozy
cinnamon roll casserole is another warm treat worth trying.
7. Cool slightly & serve
Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving so the filling sets slightly.
Pro Tips
- Chill the butter before mixing for a better crumble texture
- Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness
- Use oats for extra crunch and texture contrast
- Don’t overbake—dry topping loses its magic
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture
