Peach Crumble
My peach crumble features sweet and juicy peaches with a mile-high crumb topping. This easy recipe comes together in one bowl with seven common ingredients.
The crumb topping is the best part of any dessert, and this peach crumble is no different. If you're like me and you pick it off coffee cake or scrape it off Dutch apple pie, this recipe is for you. Peach season is one of the best parts of summer, and they really shine in this recipe. Unlike a cobbler which uses a biscuit-like topping ,or a crisp which has an oat base, this uses a streusel base. My version is generous on the crumbs, full of flavor, and easy to make as well. We love making it for things like family dinners, potlucks, and picnics. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for a truly decadent treat.
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Peaches: Yellow or white peaches will both work well. Look for peaches that have a slight give when pressed but that are not overly soft. They should also have a sweet aroma.
- Fresh-in-season fruit is best, but frozen works well, too. Just be sure to drain and thaw first.
- Do you have more fresh produce than you know what to do with? Try my Peach cobbler dump cake, Peach coffee cake, or peach jam, too!
- Flour: Spoon your flour into a cup and then level it off with a knife. Avoid scooping your cup into the flour, as you'll get too much.
Avoid Canned Fruit
It can be too sweet from the syrup or too mushy after cooking.
How To Make Peach Cobbler
- Preheat oven and grease pan.
- Peel and slice peaches. Layer in pan.
- Combine all dry crumble ingredients.
- Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle over peaches and bake until golden brown.
FAQs
If your peaches are particularly ripe and juicy toss them with a bit of cornstarch before adding them to the pan.
I prefer to peel my peaches, and the skin can be tough and chewy. The easiest way to do this is to cook them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Cool in and ice bath and peel the skins off.
Tips and Tricks
- Peaches Not Ripe? Place them in a paper bag for 1-2 days. The ethylene gas released will help them ripen quickly.
- If desired: Remove the peach skins by boiling in water for 30-60 seconds.
- Help The Topping Crisp Up: Make sure you use cold butter. As it melts, it creates pockets, leading to a crispy, crunchy topping.

Hi! I made this for my Ladies Breakfast this morning and they couldn't get enough; plus it was the first time I baked anything like this in my life and I'm just about 77. LOL! Thank you! So...so...good!!! I just changed it by putting a little Vanilla in it as I warmed the fruit up first before it even hit the pan; Only took 20 min.
Colorado peaches are available now and we can't seem to get enough of them! I made this crumble last night, followed the recipe to the letter, and oh my gosh! So easy, so quick and so delicious! Served it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. YUM! This is now copied into my recipe files. Thank you!
This peach crisp was outstanding! We had it warm with vanilla ice cream. Could this exact recipe be applied to any fruit? Maybe slightly altering cook time…
The farmers market had gorgeous strawberries that are so sweet, and red all the way through, so I’m dying to use them!
