Peach Crumble Recipe

Once upon a time my husband expressed to me that he likes cobbler.  I excitedly prepared one and he liked it, but it wasn’t quite what he had in mind.  It wasn’t his mama’s.

So I went straight to the source and got her recipe.  Well, it turns out she doesn’t really make a cobbler, it’s a crumble.  Cobblers, crumbles, and crisps are all a little different.  Here’s a little breakdown.

• cobbler- fresh fruit with biscuits on top
• crumble- fresh fruit with an oat-based streusel on top
• crisp- fresh fruit with a streusel on top (no oats)

Back to the matter at hand… I recently saw some beautiful peaches at the store and procured my mother-in-law’s recipe, which I’m sharing with you.

Ingredients

(first set-bottom)

• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 3 Tablespoons of flour
• 3/8 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 6 cups of sliced peaches

(second set- topping)

• 1 1/2 cups of dry oats
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 3/4 cup of butter
• 3/8 teaspoon of baking soda
• 3/8 teaspoon of baking powder

Combine the first set of ingredients (sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, & peaches) and place into a greased casserole.

Combine the second set of ingredients and spread over the top.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40-50 minutes.

You can also make this using apples.  In fact, the original recipe called for apples but I was beguiled by the beautiful peaches.

So, which camp are you in?  Cobbler, Crumble, or Crisp?
