Ingredients

• 4 whole ripe peaches
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the peach slices in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Gently toss the peaches with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Set the peaches aside to macerate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (if using).

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the mixture until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cream thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Pour the cream mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Arrange the macerated peach slices on top of the cream.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, ensuring full coverage.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cream base is bubbly.

Step 10

Allow the Peaches Velvetene to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence.
