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.
How to Make Peach Crumble
Please note, that the printable recipe card has ingredient quantities, complete instructions, and nutritional information. The following is a quick overview of the recipe.
Get the ingredients for the recipe ready first. You’ll need to peel, pit, and dice the peaches. You will also need to melt the butter. I show you now down below.
Spread the peaches out in your pan of choice. Then mix the filling ingredients and cook them for a few minutes. Pour the peach crumble filling over the top of the peaches. Stir together the ingredients for the crumble topping and spread this out over the fruit filling. Bake.
What is the easiest way to skin a peach?
The easiest way to skin a peach.
- Wash and score the peach skin with the sharp tip of a knife 4 to 6 times down the length of the peach.
- Add the peaches to boiling water and keep them submerged or turn them for 30 seconds.
- I use a spyder strainer for holding the peaches down, turning them, and removing them from the hot water.
- Submerge the peaches in an ice bath for 10 seconds.
- Slide the skin from them immediately.
What to Serve With Peach Crumble
A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is the only thing that you’ll need to get people anxiously waiting for their piece.

FAQ’s
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.
Yes, you can easily make this peach crumble gluten-free by using gluten-free all-purpose flour!
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.
Yes, you can. Let the peaches thaw and pat them dry.
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?
