Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Nectarines (6 cups, sliced)
  • Granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cold and cubed)
  • All-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • Brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
  • Rolled oats (1 cup)
  • Ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced nectarines with lemon juice and granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the nectarines to release their delicious juices.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  5. Transfer the nectarines to a baking dish, spreading them out evenly to create a beautiful layer.
  6. Generously sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of the nectarines, covering them completely.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the nectarines are tender and the crumble topping is a beautiful golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence.
