Old-Fashioned Peach Crumble

My oldest loves any type of old-fashioned cobbler, crisp or crumble; so when she begged me to make one (she wasn’t picky, any type would do), I jumped on the opportunity.

I mean how many years do we have with our kids at home? And, if my girl wants an old-fashioned dessert, I’m going to provide.

Let’s be honest. It actually just boosts my ego; it makes me feel loved and needed.

It also was a great excuse to use up some fresh peaches that I had frozen last year. That’s where this easy peach crumble recipe comes into play.

A Fresh Peach Crisp Recipe Without Oats

Here’s the deal, I had peaches for my peach crisp but no oats in the cabinet.

Luckily, I remembered Grandma’s Apple Crisp recipe. It also called for fresh fruit, and the topping is made of just flour, sugar, baking powder and eggs. And, it has the best flavor.

So I worked my magic, and converted it into this new Fresh Peach Crisp recipe without oats.

Peach Crisp with Fresh Peaches

I have to say this peach cobbler turned out amazing.

The fresh peaches at the bottom get mixed with just the perfect amount of sugar while the crumble topping is perfection.

I recommend eating it like my Dad does with a splash of milk right over top while it’s warm. Vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream would do too! Honestly, a dollar of Cool Whip wouldn’t hurt either!

If you’re using frozen peaches, let them thaw first and then drain the excess juices.

How long is peach crumble good for?

Ideally, the peach cobbler should be eaten the first day. However, if stored correctly covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it will stay good for 3 to 5 days. The moisture of the peaches make it a prime candidate for mold growth, so be sure to store it in the refrigerator instead of on the counter.
