Basil and Peach Flavor Combo

Have you ever had peach and basil together?
It’s an amazing flavor combination!
I first discovered several years ago when I made this recipe for my girls.

I think I then ended up eating peaches, yogurt, and basil everyday the rest of the summer.

The basil is so light and fragrant. And when you combine it with the acid of the peach, it just explodes in your mouth.

So, when I decided to make Peach Crumble Cups for Farmer’s Market Week, I knew I wanted to incorporate some fresh basil.

How to Make Basil Peach Crumble Cups

I like to add the basil at the end, after the cups are done baking so you can really taste the fresh flavor. If you bake it in, the light basil gets lost in the shuffle.

I also used a little bit of almond extract so they have a nice warm flavor. I think they’d be the perfect dessert for late summer, early fall.

Ingredients:

Servings: Makes about 6 silicone cups.
About 6 peaches
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
¼ tablespoon almond extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup oatmeal
½ cup softened butter
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup fresh basil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the peaches into small pieces and add to a sauce pan.
Then add the regular sugar, almond extract and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Stir continuously.
When the filling is ready, spoon it into each silicone cup or ramekin.
Next, make the oatmeal topping.
Next, take the oatmeal, softened butter, and brown sugar and add to the bowl. Combine with a spoon.
Then really get in there with your hands and help the butter mix in with every bit of oatmeal.
When it feels like every piece of oatmeal is covered with butter, you’re ready to spoon the topping over the silicone cups.
Bake for about 30 minutes. The filling will start to boil after 10 but you want to go longer so the oatmeal topping gets nice and crisp.

Finally, take the basil and chop it. Then add it to a bowl and take a muddler or a spoon and try and muddle out some of the oil. Add it to the top of each dessert cup when you take it out of the oven. If you add it in during the baking process, the flavor will get lost.

Let it cool a few minutes and enjoy!
