  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter (, melted)
  • 3 cups chopped peaches (, about 4–5 large peaches)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (, or water)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup flour

  6. Make the Crumble Topping. In a medium bowl stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar. Then stir in the melted butter – it should resemble wet sand.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 35-45 minutes, or until the top looks golden brown.
  9. Cool fully.
