Peach Crumble
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Makes 8 servings This recipe has reduced calories, fat and lactose thanks to the omission of heavy cream.
8 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, sliced (see note)
Juice of 1 lemon (3 to 4 tablespoons)
1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup quick oatmeal, uncooked
2 tablespoons butter, cut into slices
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange peach slices in the pie plate. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and oatmeal. With your fingers crumble the butter into the flour-sugar mixture and sprinkle on top of the peaches.
Bake until peaches are soft and topping is browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.
Note: To peel peaches, submerge in boiling for 30 to 60 seconds and then into cold water for 20 seconds. Skin should slip right off.
