01
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Prepare an ovenproof dish, 22 cm across and at least 5 cm deep.
02
Mix the peaches with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Spread in the dish with any juices that have formed.
03
In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips to make crumbs of different sizes.
04
Scatter the crumbs over the fruit without pressing them down. If using almonds, scatter them on top so they toast with the crumble.
05
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit juices bubble around the edges. If the almonds brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
06
Rest for 25 minutes so the juices can thicken slightly. Serve warm with a spoon. Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

A little baking wisdom

Thin, thoroughly washed peach skins can stay on. For a softer texture, peel the fruit before weighing it.

Times are approximate and vary with your oven. Use oven mitts and check doneness before serving.
