Peach Crumble is a simple, comforting dessert made with canned peaches and a buttery oat topping. It’s a classic American treat that captures the sweetness of ripe peaches with the rustic crunch of oats and warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. This version is easy to prepare and ideal for both weeknight desserts and casual gatherings. It can be served warm or cold, often accompanied by ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Ingredients
- 30 oz sliced peaches ( drained)
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup butter (softened or melted)
- 1 cup quick oats
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Fruit Layer
- Drain the canned peaches and arrange them evenly in an 8-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle with ¼ tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Step 2: Make Crumble Topping
- In a mixing bowl, combine ⅓ cup butter and 1 cup quick oats.
- Mix until the texture becomes crumbly.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Step 4: Serve

Tips
- Substitute fresh peaches when in season (about 4 cups sliced)
- Add a pinch of salt to the oat topping for deeper flavor
- Mix in chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch
- Replace nutmeg with all cinnamon if preferred
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing
- Use quick oats only; old-fashioned oats will change texture
- Double the topping for a thicker crumble layer
- Bake until edges bubble for best doneness
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving to set
