A delightful dessert combining the sweetness of peaches with a crunchy almond topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, 1/2 cup of flour, and granulated sugar.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sliced almonds.
Using cold butter helps create a crumbly texture.
In another mixing bowl, combine the remaining flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Adjust the spice levels to your preference for a personalized flavor.
Add the peach slices and orange juice to the spice mixture and toss gently to coat.
Handle the peaches gently to avoid breaking them.
Transfer the peach filling to an ungreased baking dish and sprinkle the topping evenly over it.
Spread the topping evenly for consistent baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown.
Check the crumble halfway through to ensure even browning.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Let the crumble cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors.
