How to Tell if a Peach is Ripe

A peach is ripe when it has a little bit of “give” when pressed and a sweet, peachy smell. If it is still firm and odorless at the store it will ripen on the counter. Because the color of peaches can vary so much, color is irrelevant when determining ripeness.

The Easiest Way to Peel a Peach.

  1. Wash and score the peach skin with the sharp tip of a knife 4 to 6 times down the length of the peach.
  2. Add the peaches to boiling water and keep them submerged or turn them for 30 seconds.
    1. I use a spyder strainer for holding the peaches down, turning them, and removing them from the hot water.
  3. Submerge the peaches in an ice bath for 10 seconds.
  4. Slide the skin from them immediately.

FAQ’s

What is the difference between a peach cobbler and a peach crumble?

Our Peach cobbler is made with a biscuit mix that gives it more of a cake consistency. This peach crumble recipe with oats doesn’t have a crust.

Is this recipe for peach crumble gluten-free?

Yes, you can easily make this peach crumble gluten-free by using gluten-free all-purpose flour!

Can I leave the peach skins on?

Yes, but I don’t recommend it. Once the peaches bake, the skin will slide off the diced peaches which would affect the appearance. I describe how to easily remove the skins here.

Can I make a peach crumble with frozen fruit?

Yes, you can. Let the peaches thaw and pat them dry.

Can you make peach crumble with canned peaches?

Yes, you can but I really don’t recommend it. They have a soft texture and hold additional liquid which could result in a soggy mess.

Tips to Make the Perfect Peach Crumble

Peach crumble is easier to cut into servings if it’s chilled. However, if it’s deliciously warm, I will often just scoop it out of the pan instead of cutting it. I also wouldn’t worry about trying to cut it into squares. Scooping it out with a spoon gives a rustic homemade feel that’s perfect for casual entertaining.

I used a 9×13 pan. Use two 8×8 pans so you can serve one and freeze one for later.

Substitute with pie plates for a peach crumble pie. Depending on the size of your baking dishes, you may need two. You can always add more peaches and this recipe will still work perfectly.

Use individual peach crumble desserts with single-serving dishes. I love having my own, don’t you?
