Every weekend in the summer we go to the farmer’s market and buy fresh, juicy peaches from our favorite local farm. We enjoy eating them plain, as well as using them to make this peach crumble recipe (and of course, this peach cobbler and peach pie)!

In this peach crumble recipe, fresh (or frozen) peaches are infused with vanilla and cinnamon and topped with a buttery crumble topping. It’s a delicious summer dessert, best served a la mode with our homemade vanilla ice cream!

Peach crumble: Ingredients & Substitutions

• Fresh peaches. Use 3 pounds peeled and sliced fresh peaches for the best results. You can also use frozen, sliced peaches. To do this, thaw them in a colander to room temperature, then use them to make the filling.
• Light Brown sugar. dark brown sugar or coconut sugar are good substitutes for light brown sugar.
• All-purpose flour. To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute an all-purpose gluten-free baking flour for the all-purpose flour.
• Salted butter. Unsalted butter works well in this recipe.
• Vanilla extract. Vanilla bean paste or the seeds from one vanilla bean can be used in place of vanilla extract.

How to Make Peach crumble

Let’s walk through how to make peach crumble step-by-step, and don’t forget to watch the video.

Make the peach filling:

The most time consuming step in this recipe is preparing the peaches. Peel and cut the peaches into thin slices, then cut each slice in half so it’s about 1” long.

If using frozen peaches, put them in a strainer and thaw until they reach room temperature.

Then, in a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, all-purpose flour and sea salt, set aside.

Then, in a large bowl, combine the peaches, lemon juice and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the peach mixture and stir to combine.

Make the Crumble Topping

In a medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.

Then, cut in the butter with a fork, a pastry cutter, or your hands until crumbly. I suggest cutting the butter into small pieces to make this step easier.

Assemble the Peach crumble

Transfer the peach filling to a prepared baking dish and sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the top of the peach mixture.

Bake the peach crumble

Once the crumble is assembled, bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until the top is set and lightly browned, and the filling is bubbling.

Then, remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Serve

Serve the peach crumble recipe slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

Store/freeze

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or in the microwave.
