Ingredients

Crust & Crumble:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peach Filling:

4 cups peaches sliced (fresh, canned/drained, or frozen/thawed and drained)
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
Press two-thirds of the dough into the pan.
Toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Spread peach filling over the crust.
Crumble remaining dough over the top.
Bake 40–45 minutes until golden.
Cool completely (about 1 hour) before slicing.

Notes

For canned or frozen peaches, drain thoroughly before mixing with sugar and cornstarch to prevent sogginess. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
