Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker peach filling, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. If fresh peaches are in season, feel free to substitute them for canned peaches. You can also switch the rolled oats for quick oats if desired, but keep an eye on baking time as they may cook faster. To enhance flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture.
Serving Suggestions
This peach crumble is delicious served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fun twist, try pairing it with a slice of Ruby's Pecan Pie for dessert. It also makes a lovely addition to brunch, alongside Southern Macaroni and Cheese or other American recipes.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in this recipe. Just thaw them first and drain any excess liquid before combining with the other ingredients. You might want to add a little more cornstarch to help thicken the mixture since frozen peaches can release more moisture during baking.
How can I make this crumble gluten-free?
To make this peach crumble gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that your oats are certified gluten-free, as cross-contamination can occur. This way, everyone can enjoy this delicious dessert without worry.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the peach filling and crumble topping separately, storing them in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to bake, simply assemble and bake as directed. This is a great way to save time when hosting or for a special occasion.
