Chardonnay Peach Crumble
An easier dessert with tons of sweet flavor.

Yields 8 servings

Peach Base
6 large ripe peaches, pitted and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 tbsp Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
Zest of one lemon

Crumble Topping
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter cut into 1/2 tbsp pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 tsp kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 350º. Butter an 8×8 baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, toss all Peach Base ingredients until combined. Allow the mixture to sit for several minutes. If there is a lot of liquid at the bottom of the bowl, toss in one more tablespoon of flour. Pour the peaches into the baking dish and smooth the top.
3. Add butter, flour and rolled oats into a large bowl and, using your fingers, smash up the butter into the flour and oats until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly. Incorporate the sugars, almonds and salt using the same technique. If the mixture is overly dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it clumps together.
4. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peach base. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is browned and the peach juices are bubbling. Serve immediately, and pair with Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay. If desired, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
