Ingredients

For Peach Mixture:

2.5 lb Peaches ~ 6 large, peeled and sliced
¼ cup White sugar
2 tablespoons Corn flour (corn starch)
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons Lemon juice freshly squeezed

For Crumble Topping:

¾ cup All purpose flour (Maida)
½ cup Light brown sugar
¼ cup White sugar
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons Unsalted butter cut into small cubes.
½ cup Pecans finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel Peaches: Old-fashioned method: Peel the peaches using a peeler.
Poaching Method: Or opt for poaching to easily remove the skins. Make a cross at the bottom of the peaches using a knife. To poach, briefly immerse the peaches in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice water bath. The skins will peel off easily.
Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit and make slices of medium thickness.
Make Peach Mixture: Take the sliced peaches, white sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, vanilla, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Mix well until the peaches are evenly coated.
Spread the peach mixture in an 8x8 or 9x9-inch pan, roughly 2-quart size.
Make Topping: Mix all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, white sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Add the small cubes of unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers to mix the butter until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. A few larger chunks of butter here and there in the mixture is ok.
Gently mix in the finely chopped pecans to the crumble mixture.
Bake: Evenly sprinkle and spread the crumble mixture over the peaches in the pan.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crumble topping is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbling.
Allow the peach crumble to rest for about 20 minutes. During this resting time peach juice will thicken.

Notes

Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness in your crumble.
If using salted butter, adjust or omit the added salt accordingly.
For a finer texture, finely chop the pecans for the topping.
Allow the crumble to rest 20 minutes after baking to allow the peach juices to thicken and intensify the flavors.
