This crumble has been a favorite at family dinners, especially during summer when peaches are in season. It never fails to bring smiles around the table.
Ingredients
- Fruit Filling: 900 g (6 cups) ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (fresh or canned, drained), 80 g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger, 1 tbsp lemon juice, ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
