Servings: 8

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced nectarines with lemon juice and granulated sugar. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
  3. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Transfer the nectarines to a baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the top of the nectarines.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the nectarines are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
