Pro Tips

Use firm-ripe peaches; they hold their shape better during baking and release less water. If using frozen, do not thaw completely to prevent a watery filling.
For a crispier crumble topping, ensure your butter is very cold and cut into small pieces. Avoid overmixing; a coarse, sandy texture is ideal.
Fresh ginger provides a brighter, more pungent flavor. Grate it finely to distribute its heat evenly throughout the fruit filling.
Bake until the fruit filling is visibly bubbling and the crumble topping is deeply golden brown, typically 45-50 minutes at 190°C (375°F).
