1. In a large bowl, add all of the filling ingredients and stir together. Let this rest. Preheat the oven to 175C.

2. Prepare the crumble. In a food processor add all of the crumble ingredients except for the butter and pulse until the mixture no longer looks like sandy and begins to get a bit clumpy. Then add the butter and pulse until it comes together – it should still look clumpy.

3. In a large dish place the filling on the bottom of the pan. Spread the crumble on top of the peaches with your fingers.

4. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the peach filling begins to bubble through the crumble.

5. Serve with a creamy-type scoop of ice cream on top.

It’s most definitely summer fruit season. The markets are filled with cherries, strawberries, and the most gorgeous peaches. I went the other day and came away with bags and bags of fruit. I knew looking at my bounty there was a crumble and some ice cream in there somewhere.

I opted for a peach crumble, rather than my usual apple. And I made some homemade creamy strawberry and lemon ice cream. I really love the combination of a creamy ice cream with a fruit dessert.

I also really enjoy making crumbles. It was one of the first desserts I learned to make. I am always surprised at how easy the process is and how the end result is always such gooey perfection. I hope you enjoy.
