We don’t get tired of peaches when harvest ends, and we have a lot of fresh pecans this time of year to add new flavors. We recommend frozen peaches for our baking, because frozen peaches soften and bake evenly. Just freeze them yourself so you know what flavor to expect and how long they've been frozen!

Use our early-season varieties for tangy flavors, or later-season varieties for bright floral notes. Use our farm-fresh pecans this Fall to welcome home your family with smells of vanilla, butter, and freshly roasted pecans!

Serves: 6

Ready in: 1 hour

Ingredients & Tools:

• Spice grinder
• 12+ inch iron skillet or 9x9 baking dish

Filling:

• 3 pounds of frozen sliced peaches
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or bourbon)
• Pinch of Salt

Topping:

• ¾ cup rolled oats
• 1 cup raw pecan halves, for flour
• ½ cup chopped pecans, for topping
• ½ cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup cold butter, cubed into 16 pieces
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 250°F (you’ll raise it to 350°F later).
2. Spread out the fresh raw pecans evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet, bake for 8 
   minutes.
3. If you need to chop pecans yourself, place the remaining ½ cup of raw pecans on a 
   towel. If using a kitchen knife, the towel will help prevent the pecans from slipping. 
   Otherwise, fold the towel up, and crush under a rolling pin or pound with a pestle. Check for pieces that are about ¼ inch wide. Avoid making powder!
4. While the pecans are baking, toss your frozen peaches with the sugar, 1 tbsp 
   cornstarch, vanilla, and salt to taste.
5. Grease your skillet or baking dish. We recommend pecan oil, but butter works too. 
6. Evenly spread fillings into your skillet or baking dish.
7. Take out your pecans and let them cool. Proceed to grinding when they are still warm to the touch. Increase the oven to 350°F.
8. Add ½ teaspoon of cornstarch to the grinder with ¼ cup roasted pecans. Pulse for 2-3 seconds, scrape the sides, and repeat until pecans resemble sand. Push through a sieve if desired. Repeat for all roasted pecans.
9. Combine oats, pecan flour, chopped pecans, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt. Work 
   together with your hands. Do not over-work. The “crumbles” should end up about 1 inch size.
10. Sprinkle topping over peaches. Bake for 45 minutes.
