Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Pinch of salt

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the natural juices to develop.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and cayenne pepper, stirring until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Assemble the Crumble: Spread the peach mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch baking dish. Top it with the crumble mixture, ensuring an even layer covering all the peaches.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This crumble is delightful on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
