Easy Fresh Peach Cobbler (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Fruit Filling

01 - 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
04 - 120 grams granulated sugar
05 - 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 0.25 teaspoon fine salt

→ Crumble Topping

08 - 130 grams all-purpose flour
09 - 100 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
10 - 110 grams packed brown sugar
11 - 60 grams chopped pecans
12 - 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
13 - 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
14 - 113 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
15 - 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
16 - 1 large egg, lightly beaten

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 23x33 cm baking dish.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, gently combine sliced peaches with lemon juice, cornstarch, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans, baking powder, and baking soda until thoroughly combined.
04 - Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or fingertips until the mixture achieves a coarse, pebble-like texture with pea-sized crumbs.
05 - Gently mix in vanilla extract and lightly beaten egg until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender, crumbly topping.
06 - Evenly spoon the crumble topping over the peach filling in the baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is actively bubbling.
07 - Allow the baked dessert to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes to set the filling before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally garnished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

# Notes:

01 - Opt for ripe, peak-season peaches for the fullest flavor and natural sweetness. Frozen peaches, fully thawed and drained, serve as an effective alternative.
02 - Avoid overworking the crumble dough to ensure a light, tender topping.
03 - Experiment with alternative fruits, such as nectarines, apricots, or berries. For enhanced warmth, add a small pinch of ground ginger to the fruit mixture.
04 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat portions in a preheated oven or microwave prior to serving.
