Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 5 graham crackers, finely crushed
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons room temperature
- 2 ripe peaches, cut into 1/3-inch wedges
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 °F. Pulse graham cracker crumbs, flour, salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and add melted butter; mix until a few large clumps form. Spread out crumble on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, shaking once, until golden, 12 –15 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, toss peaches, brown sugar, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium; cook peaches, tossing often, until sugar is dissolved and peaches are soft, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Mash raspberries with a spoon in a small bowl, then mix in remaining 1 tsp. granulated sugar and remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice. Let sit 5 minutes for raspberries to soften.
- Beat cream in a medium bowl to medium-soft peaks. Divide warm peaches among bowls and top with whipped cream, raspberries, and graham cracker crumble.
