How to make baked peaches
The full instructions for this easy baked peaches recipe are found down below in the printable recipe card.
Step 1: Slice the peaches
Slice each peach in half vertically, twist the halves apart, and remove the pit. Place skin side down in a baking dish. I used my 7x9 inch baking dish but an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan will work too. Just be sure to pick a dish where the peaches fit side by side without overlapping or have too much room around them.
Step 2: Add oatmeal crumble topping
In a small bowl, whisk flour, oats, browns sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut the cold butter into the mixture using a fork or pastry cutter, mixing around until small crumbs form. Add a large spoonful of crumble topping to the center of each peach.
Step 3: Bake to perfection
Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 20 minutes or until peaches are tender and the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 4: Serve and enjoy
Enjoy baked peaches as is, with a scoop of ice cream, or yogurt. I personally like to drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Want to make these roasted peaches in the air fryer instead? Air fry at 350F for 8-11 minutes, until peach halves are tender and topping is browned.
