1Separate the sliced peaches from their heavy syrup by placing them in a colander and letting them drain for a minute to remove as much liquid as possible.
2In an 8x6 inch pan (or any small pan), combine the drained peaches with 2.5 tablespoons of white granulated sugar, a dash of cinnamon, a very small bit of nutmeg, a squeeze of lemon, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
3Add about half of the reserved liquid from the peach can to the pan and mix all the ingredients well.
4Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted salted butter into the peach mixture.
5In a separate bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of salted butter, a third of a cup of brown sugar, and a dash of cinnamon, mixing well.
6Add 3/4 of a cup of all-purpose flour to the butter and sugar mixture and use a fork to incorporate everything, ensuring to leave a few small chunks in the crumble mixture.
7Evenly distribute the crumble mixture over the top of the peach filling in the pan.
8Bake in an oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 to 22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
9After baking, let the peach crumble cool for about 10 minutes to allow everything to set.
10Serve the peach crumble with vanilla ice cream.
