    Our classic Peach Crumble is the perfect recipe for using up fresh or tinned peaches. The sweet crunchy crumble is even more delicious when served with cream or ice-cream!

    When it comes to winter desserts, it doesn't get any more classic than our crumble and pie recipes... and this peach crumble is the absolute perfect cold weather recipe! Just like our classic apple crumble, this peach version will make those wintery nights so much more delicious!

    How Do You Make Peach Crumble Or Streusel

    My peach crumble recipe is based on my classic apple crumble recipe... but using tinned or fresh (poached) peaches instead of apples!

    To make a deliciously crunchy peach crumble, you'll need: 

    The ingredients needed to make peach streusel.

    *scroll to the recipe card below for the ingredient quantities and the full detailed method

    • rolled oats - or substitute for quick oats if you prefer
    • brown sugar - either light or brown sugar are fine to use
    • plain flour
    • butter - either salted or unsalted butter is fine to use
    • poached fresh peaches - or tinned peaches
    Butter, sugar and coconut in a mixing bowl.

    How To Poach Peaches

    If you want to make our peach crumble recipe and skip the step of poaching peaches entirely, then you can use tinned peaches instead! 

    If not, here's my simple steps for poaching fresh peaches:

    • cut a small cross in the base of each fresh peach
    • add water, vanilla bean. sugar and cinnamon into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer (see recipe card below)
    • add the peaches and cook for 15 minutes
    • allow to cool, then peel the peaches and slice into chunks

    How To Store Peach Crumble

    Our peach crumble can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.

    • ice-cream
    • cream
    • sweet yoghurt
    • custard
    • caramel sauce

    FAQ

    If I don't have fresh peaches, can I use canned/tinned peaches?

    Yes absolutely! Just drain the tin, make the crumble, assemble and bake!

    Can I substitute the peaches for another fruit?

    Yes of course! Check out our apple crumble or apple & blueberry crumble versions... but also feel free to use any other fruit such as pears or apricots.

    Can I make this recipe in my Thermomix?

    Absolutely! The recipe card below includes instructions for both the stove-top and Thermomix methods.
