🍑 Ripen hard peaches quickly by placing them in a brown paper bag on the counter for 1 to 2 days to trap ethylene gas and soften them.
🧈 Always use cold butter straight from the fridge for the topping. Cold butter creates steam pockets that give you the crispiest, crunchiest crumble.
🫐 Switch things up by swapping half the peaches for blueberries or adding a handful of chopped pecans to the topping for extra texture and flavor.
