Want to dress it up a bit?
Add a scoop of classic vanilla ice cream or choose a fruit-flavored ice cream.
This recipe can also be made in a 9-inch pie dish or a roughly 9-inch cast iron skillet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
Mix until the peaches are coated and transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
Feel free to leave some slightly larger pieces unprocessed if desired for a chunkier topping.
Transfer the breadcrumbs to the same mixing bowl used for the peaches.
Whisk in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix in the melted butter to moisten the breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the prepared peaches in the baking dish.
Bake the brown betty until the topping is golden and the peaches are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream.
Cover and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven before serving.
