SUMMER PEACH CRUMBLE

It doesn’t get much summer-ier (I know… that’s not a word) than peaches. I noticed they were available in the grocery store and I had to swoop some up. I wanted to make something sweet and decadent, but I also wanted something a little lighter than a pie. A few months back, I made an awesome chamomile apple crumble and it inspired me to do something similar with my peaches! This peach crumble was incredible!

I have been on a mission to cut back on processed sugar, I have a serious sweet tooth and if I allow myself, I’ll eat sugary foods throughout the whole day. For the sake of my health, I have replaced my favorite sugary snacks with fresh fruit. I let myself eat as much of it as I want and I can have a sweet treat as long as I make it myself. I’m taking full advantage with this recipe!

This peach crumble has 2 parts. The first part is the peach filling and the second is the crumble. I used fresh peaches for my filling but canned peaches would totally work instead. Just note that they may make a runnier filling so either omit the juice or add cornstarch. Either way, it’s going to turn out amazing.

The crumble is a buttery brown sugar mix that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the peaches. I wanted mine to be somewhat light since it’s warm as heck out so I didn’t add oats. It turned out so good that I ate all of it to myself. Oops! It took me 3 days but I devoured it.
