Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, you can substitute margarine with coconut oil or use a non-dairy butter for a vegan option. If you're out of quick-cook oats, rolled oats work just as well. Adjust the sweetness by using less brown sugar if your peaches are particularly ripe. Adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. This Oatmeal Peach Crumble pairs beautifully with a refreshing California Strawberry Fruit Salad for a delightful summer dessert spread. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the crumble cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through and the topping is crisp.
