For the peach filling:
- 5 medium to large peaches peeled and sliced thin
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- dash of table salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for buttering the casserole dish
- juice of ½ a lemon
- a few drops of almond extract
For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter cut into chunks (1 stick or 8 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the icing:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk or cream more or less for desired consistency
- a few drops of almond extract
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Place the peaches in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with ¼ to ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Gently toss to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for an hour at room temperature.
In the bowl of the food processor combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar. Pulse until combined. Remove to a medium mixing bowl and press the topping together to form large chunks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease or butter a small 1 to 1-½ quart casserole dish.
Once the peaches have rested for an hour, drain the juice into a medium saucepan. Set aside the sliced peaches for now.
Whisk in the cornstarch, cinnamon and salt into the peach juice. Over medium heat cook the peach juice while whisking constantly until the syrup boils. Boil for about 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon butter and the almond extract. Gently fold in the peaches and any accumulated juice. Pour the peach mixture into a buttered casserole dish.
Top with the crumble mixture, leaving some pieces about the size of quarters, and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
Serve with the almond drizzle or a scoop of ice cream
