Instructions

  1. 1

    Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    In food processor, pulse bread and butter until coarsely ground. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl.

  4. 4

    Melt butter in large nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook peaches, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, 8 to 12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup crumb mixture, sugars, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. You can bake in this skillet (if oven-safe) or transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.

  6. 6

    Top peach mixture with remaining crumbs. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake until topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm.

💡 Cook's Notes

You can substitute 3 lbs of thawed and drained frozen sliced peaches for fresh peaches. If you don't own an oven-safe skillet, transfer the peach filling to a 2-quart baking dish at the end of step 5 and continue with the recipe as directed. Optional: Top with hard sauce. <!-- TODO: LINK TO 'hard sauce' -->
