Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 34 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press firmly into a lined baking pan and bake for about 15-18 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. In another bowl, toss peach slices with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. For the crumb topping, mix together flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt; stir in melted butter until crumbs form.
  5. Spread the peach mixture over the cooled crust and top with crumb mixture.
  6. Bake for an additional 45-50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool completely before slicing.
