Peach Crumble

Made in a slow-cooker.

• Ready In: 3 hrs 30 mins
• 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.
