Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, sliced into ½-inch wedges (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30g)
  • ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (20g)
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar (50g)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (42g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place two 8-ounce ramekins on a small baking sheet.
  2. Wash the peaches and slice them into ½-inch thick wedges. No need to peel.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup flour, oats, brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until clumps form.
  5. Divide the peach mixture evenly between the ramekins. Spoon the topping over the peaches, leaving a few gaps for steam.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the peaches rest for 5 minutes after mixing to draw out juices. Don’t overmix the topping; clumps create crispiness. Use room temperature butter for even melting. Start checking at 20 minutes as oven temperatures vary. For extra topping, double the topping ingredients and freeze half for later use.
