Nici Wickes: Peach and Vanilla Crumble Slice

In spring I start to get impatient for those gorgeous summer fruit. It’s then that I’ll resort to using tinned fruit, and New Zealand peaches are some of the best you can get.  

Makes 20x30cm tray  

 

Ingredients  

• 200g butter  
• 1 cup sugar  
• 1 egg  
• 1 tsp vanilla  
• 2 cups plain flour + extra 1 tbsp  
• 2 tsp baking powder  
• 1 can tinned NZ peaches, drained and fruit chopped  
• 1/3 cup sour cream  

 

Method 

1. Preheat oven to 175 C. Line a Swiss roll tin.  
2. Cream the butter and sugar and then beat in the egg and vanilla. Mix in 2 cups flour and the baking powder and press all but ½ cup of the mixture into tin.  
3. Scatter the chopped peaches over the base.
4. Add the extra tablespoon of flour to the remaining dough and mix together. Strew this over the fruit and dab teaspoons of sour cream over the top.  
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until top is golden.  
6. Leave to cool and slice either into fingers or squares.  
7. Serve warm as a dessert with whipped cream or ice cream or keep airtight in fridge and eat as a slice.
