A scrumptious and easy peach crumble with a homemade crumble topping and a cinnamon spiced peach filling, perfect served with custard!
Oh HELLO peach crumble.. where have you been all of my life?! This delicious dessert is SO good, SO easy to make, and I LOVE IT.
These sort of bakes are always the best kind of comfort food right? The kind that is one dish that you can just shove into the oven. Is this the sort of recipe you like to see? As I will continue to write them if thats the case as I adore them as well.
Fruit recipes
So I love baking with fruit, as you will all know well by now. Something about adding fruit to bakes is just really delicious, and brings a bake up a notch and I adore it. Peach is an underrated fruit in my baking opinion, so I wanted to post another delicious peach based recipe.
My peaches and cream cake recipe always goes down SO well when I post it, so I know you all adore this as well. It’s a curveball from the norm of crumble baking, but it’s scrumptious. This beauty really does shine fruit recipes through and through as it’s sweet, you can use tinned or fresh peaches, and it’s SO GOOD.
Crumble Bakes
I am obsessed with crumble bakes, but other than having my apple crumble as a sneaky free download if you sign up to my newsletter during autumn, I haven’t actually posted just a crumble before. I have done basically everything else however…
My caramel apple crumble pie is ALWAYS popular, even though it’s more autumnal compared to other bakes. My rhubarb crumble cake competes with the opposite time of the year when rhubarb is in season, and it has a delicious warming flavour.
My raspberry crumble bars and my apple crumble ice cream are perfect summer bakes, but if you wanted a proper dessert during the summer months… this peach crumble is your answer.
Peach Crumble
So for the peach part of the crumble, it’s super simple. I tried to make it as accessible to everyone as possible and it works. You basically whack it all into a bowl and mix and pour into your dish.
- Peach – I used 3x 411g tins of peaches, and drained the juice. You’d likely need 12-15 peaches if using fresh
- Sugar – I used light brown sugar as I adore this in crumbles, but caster sugar definitely works as well
- Flour – This is to help thicken the liquid you add, I just use plain
- Flavours – I added some cinnamon because I think it works well with the peach, but also lemon zest and juice for some zing
The crumble is amazingly easy to make, and only three ingredients like it should be. You can of course buy shop bought crumble mix, I’m not judging at all here if you do.
- Flour – Again, I used plain flour
- Sugar – I used caster sugar for this, but light brown sugar would work as well to match the peach part of the recipe
- Butter – I always use block butter for this so it goes super crunchy and not oily
Tips & Tricks
- This dessert is best served fresh
- It can be reheated in the microwave or oven
- You can freeze it before baking (add 2-3 mins baking time if so)
- You can freeze leftovers as well
- If you want to use fresh peaches you definitely can (It’s about 600g of peach after draining the liquid)
- I served mine with custard, but ice cream or cream works wonders as well.

Will an 8 x 8inch dish work or 9 x 13??
I make peach or rhubarb grumble exactly same method. I throw in a banana occasionally with peach or plum if have left over. Not a cook but be interested to learn more easy recipes
Wanting to try this recipe, what would it be like adding a few chocolate drops?
Go for it if you want!
I used fresh peaches. The amount of lemon juice and zest completely overwhelmed the taste of the peaches. I’d try this again, adding as I did this time, some oat bran to the crumble, and reducing the lemon juice to a third of what’s called for here.
Absolutely gorgeous recipe! Went down a treat. Never used tinned fruit before.
Absolutely delicious, will be a firm favourite in my house…thanks Jane
Hi, what sized dish do you suggest please?
Sounds good trying it tomorrow!!!
Is it peaches in juice or syrup best to use.
Can’t wait to try it.
I use the syrup one, but either should work as you drain them! x
