FAQs

What is peach Crumble?

Peach crumble is a simple summer dessert made from a layer of fresh peaches topped with a crunchy buttery topping. Similar to a crustless pie, the peaches become soft and jammy while the buttery topping crisps to a beautiful golden brown in the oven.

Unlike a cobbler, peach crumble has a topping made from flour, butter, and sugar, while a cobbler tends to have a more biscuit-like topping. There is no better way to enjoy juicy summer peaches than this easy peach crumble recipe.

Can I make this with frozen or canned peaches?

Fresh peaches are the most flavourful and juiciest, but if all you have is frozen or drained canned peaches, they will work for this peach crumble recipe.

How to know when your crumble is done?

After about 40 minutes the topping should be a perfect golden brown. If it still appears a little pale keep baking it until the color turns darker and it starts bubbling around the edges.

Can I double the recipe?

Of course, you are only limited by the size of the baking pan you have! This recipe is very easy to scale. You may want to make a few to take to the neighbors.

Can I make this recipe into a gluten free dessert?

A gluten free version of peach crumble can be made by substituting the flour for your choice of gluten free flour, or gluten free rolled oats. This is a good way to make this a healthy peace crumble version.

Do I need to peel the peaches for peach crumble?

That is totally up to you, but peeling the peaches makes the bottom layer juicier and jammier. The peels can sometimes be a little tough.

Notes

We love this family friendly peach crumble because it has so much flavor. While it is best to make it when peaches are in season, that’s not always necessary. You can choose canned peaches or jarred peaches if you have them.

To make this a component of a simple peach crumble meal, serve something savory with it. For example, it can be the perfect complement to an intensely flavorful meal or a hearty stew.

If you want an inside tip, save a bit of this for the next day. These homemade peach crumble ideas only get better over time. You may love it so much that you decide to have some for your breakfast in the morning (you don’t have to tell anyone). However, you can also serve it for another day’s dessert.
