Ingredients

Scale

  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Arrange peach slices evenly over the batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumb topping is golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
