💡 What's interesting

Culturally, the peach crumble is a beloved example of rustic, 'make-do' baking that originated as a way to enjoy fruit desserts without the effort of making a pie crust. Nutritionally, while it's an indulgent treat, the use of oats in the topping can add a source of soluble fiber, which is a slightly more wholesome twist compared to a traditional pastry crust.
