Add the lemon juice to taste according to the sweetness of your peaches. If ripe peaches are unavailable, you can substitute five 10-oz bags of frozen peaches, thawed overnight in the refrigerator. The topping can be baked ahead of time, then cooled and stored in an airtight container. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and continue to bake. Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs peaches, ripe but firm (6-7 medium) |
1/3 granulated sugar |
1 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch |
4 teaspoons lemon juice, from 1 lemon |
1 pinch table salt |
1 pinch cinnamon |
1 pinch nutmeg |
1 cup flour |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/8 teaspoon table salt |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces, and very soft |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Adjust oven racks to lower and middle positions; heat oven to 350°F.
2. FOR THE FILLING: Gengly toss peaches and sugar together in large bowl; let stand for 30 minutes, tossing several times. Drain peaches in colander set over large bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup drained peach juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, salt , cinnamon, and nutmeg together in small bowl; discard excess peach juice. Toss juice mixture with peaches and transfer to 8-inch square glass baking dish.
3. FOR THE TOPPING: While the peaches are macerating, combine flour, sugars, (reserving 1 tablespoons granulated sugar), and salt in workbowl of food processor; drizzle vanilla over top. Pulse to combine mixture, about five 1-second pulses. Add butter and half of nuts; process until mixture clumps together into large, crumbly balls, about 30 seconds, pausing halfway through to scrape down sides of work bowl. Sprinkle remaining nuts over mixture and combine with two quick pulses. Transfer mixture to parchment-lined baking sheet and spread into even layer (mixtuer should break up into roughly 1/2 -inch chunks with some smaller, loose bits). Bake on middle rack until chunks are lightly browned and firm, 18-22 minutes.
4. TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE: Grasping edges of parchment paper,slide topping over peaches and spread into even layer wiith spatula, packing down lightly and breaking up any very large pieces. Sprinkle remaining Tablespoon sugar over top and place on lower oven rack. Increase oven temperature to 375F and bake until well browned and fruit is bubbling around the edges, 25-35 minutes. Cool on wire rack until warm, at least 15 minutes; serve.
