Submitted by ratherbeswimmin

"Made in a slow-cooker."

 

• Ready In: 3hrs 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 lbs firm-ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thickly sliced

• Topping

• 3⁄4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3⁄4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• vanilla ice cream (or whipped cream)

directions

1. Coat the slow-cooker with cooking spray or grease with butter.
2. Put the fruit in the cooker, cover, and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the topping: in a bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips; set aside.
5. After the 30 minutes, spread the topping evenly over the fruit, leaving a ½-inch border without topping to prevent burning.
6. Cover and decrease heat to LOW; cook 2 ½ to 3 hours until the fruit is tender.
7. Test by sticking a knife into the center of the crumble; when the knife passes through the fruit with little resistance, the crumble is done.
8. Uncover and let cool for 10 minutes before serving; if desired, top with ice cream or whipped cream.
