Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup oats
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits using a small spoon or knife.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, rolled oats, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a crumbly texture.
- Lightly brush the cut side of each peach half with a small amount of oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization.
- Place the peach halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches start to soften and caramelize.
- Carefully flip the peaches and generously sprinkle the pecan crumble mixture over the grilled surface of each peach half.
- Continue grilling for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the crumble to slightly toast and the peaches to become tender.
- Remove the peaches from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the crumble to set.
- Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to ensure they hold their shape on the grill
- Always clean and oil your grill grates to prevent sticking and achieve beautiful grill marks
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to your crumble mixture
- If fresh peaches aren't in season, you can use canned peaches as a substitute
- Let the peaches cool slightly before serving to allow the crumble to set and prevent burning your mouth
- For a more decadent dessert, drizzle with a bit of honey or caramel sauce just before serving
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature contrast between the warm peaches and cool optional ice cream
