Notes

Fresh or Canned peaches?

Fresh or canned peaches can be used. If using fresh use ripe but firm peaches, if using can drain the slices well. A 29 ounce (822 grams) can is the perfect size to use. You can also use frozen peaches, although they should be thawed before using.

If you want a thicker peach crumble then I recommend tossing the peaches with a tablespoon or 2 of flour before placing them on the bottom of the pan.

Can the Crumble recipe be made in advance?

Yes it can, cover the dessert well with foil or plastic wrap and place in an airtight bag. It will keep 2-3 days in the fridge, remove and bake as per the recipe. The unbaked crumble can also be frozen, cover well and place in a freezer bag, it will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.

How to store the Peach Crumble

Any leftover crumble should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Re-heat in a low oven or microwave.

To freeze the peach crumble, I recommend freezing it before baking it. That way, you can bake it fresh and serve it warm. You will need to add baking time if you bake it from frozen. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
