1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces or slightly melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch if desired. Toss until the peaches are coated evenly.
Transfer the peach mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch pie dish.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Or if you are using slightly melted butter, drizzle and stir the mixture together.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the peaches, covering them evenly.
Bake the peach crumble for 30-40 minutes or until the crisp topping is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the peach crumble warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
