Fannie Farmer's Peach Crumble

An old classic that ought to be brought back for using those fresh summer peaches!
Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 cups peach slices
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Spread the peaches into a greased, small shallow baking pan. Note: I sprinkled 1/4 cup of white sugar over the peaches. The original recipe doesn't call for this. The choice is yours.
  • In another bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Using a fork, cut in the butter until you have a crumb mixture.
  • Spread crumb topping evenly over peaches.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Note: Fannie's recipe did not call for any sugar over the fruit, but I sprinkled the peaches with a 1/4 cup sugar anyway.
  • Extra note: While Fannie's apple crumble called for 1/4 cup of water, the peach version did not appear to. I left that out and was glad. The peaches are plenty juicy with no extra water!
