A quick and easy dessert combining warm sautéed peaches with creamy vanilla ice cream and a crunchy cinnamon crumble topping, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream (1 quart)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 4 medium peaches into about 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside for 5 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (if using). Add 4 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter and work into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the crumble mixture and toast, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Alternatively, toast in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. In the same skillet, add the macerated peaches and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until tender and syrupy. Remove from heat.
  5. Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or glasses. Spoon warm peaches over the ice cream and sprinkle generously with cinnamon crumble topping. Optionally drizzle with honey or maple syrup.

Notes

Keep butter cold for the crumble to maintain crunch. Use medium heat to avoid scorching peaches. Serve immediately for best contrast of warm peaches and cold ice cream. Crumble can be toasted in oven or skillet. Lemon juice brightens flavor and balances sweetness. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or oat flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free ice cream.
