A quick and comforting dessert featuring tender baked peaches topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel, perfect for any occasion and easy to prepare with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 g)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (65 g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (60 g)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and halve the peaches, remove the pits, then place them cut side up in your baking dish.
  3. Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the peaches.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar evenly over the peaches.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger if desired.
  6. Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture over the peach halves.
  8. Place the baking dish on the middle rack and bake for 25-30 minutes until peaches are tender and the streusel topping is golden brown and crisp.
  9. Let the peaches rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle and topping to firm up.

Notes

Keep the butter cold when making the streusel to ensure a crumbly texture. If topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Lemon juice brightens flavor and balances sweetness.
