Bedtime Snack

I start craving sugar the second we put the girls to bed. Combine that with a box full of peaches, and I ended up with these little treats:

Individual servings of peach crumble, yum. This recipe was really good. It wasn't overly sweet so the peaches really stood out.

To make these small servings, I halved the recipe for the crumble topping and had enough for 4 ramekins. (Actually, I made two servings one night, refrigerated the extra topping and made two more servings the next night.) Dan is a purist and wanted only peaches, I added frozen blueberries to mine.

White Peach Crumble (from Baking Bites)
5 large, ripe peaches (white or yellow)
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. oats
6 T. sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ginger
3 1/2 T. butter, cold

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Peel and slice peaches into about 10-12 pieces each.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Cut butter into 6 or 8 pieces and rub in to flour mixture to create coarse crumbs.
Place peach slices in a pie dish and distribute crumble topping over the top.
Bake at 375F for about 30 minutes, until the crumble browns at the edges and the peaches are tender. Let cool for at least 20-30 minutes before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or plain.
Serves 6.
