Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the peach slices in a medium mixing bowl.
Gently toss the peaches with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Set the peaches aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (if using).
Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the mixture until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cream thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Pour the cream mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Arrange the macerated peach slices on top of the cream.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, ensuring full coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cream base is bubbly.
Allow the Peaches Velvetene to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence.
