Apple and Peach Crumble Recipe: Simple Oven-Baked Fruit Crisp

Apple Peach Crumble

A crumble is simply a baked fruit filling covered with a sweet, crumbly topping. You can switch up the fruit — apples, pears, plums, cherries or peaches all work — and vary the topping ingredients to change texture and flavor.

Adding oats to the topping gives extra crunch and a pleasant nutty note. The result is a golden, crisp topping with a soft, juicy fruit base — a lovely dessert after a summer meal.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of vanilla custard for the best results.

What do you need for Peach and Apple Crisp?

Below are the ingredients used in this Apple Peach Crumble. Exact amounts are shown in the recipe card further down.

• Apples – Choose sweet, firm varieties such as Jonagold, Elstar or Pink Lady for the best texture and flavor.
• Peaches – Fresh, peeled and pitted, cut into cubes, or use canned peaches if preferred. Both work well.
• Peach (or apple) juice – If using canned peaches, use some of the peach juice to moisten the fruit. For fresh peaches, substitute apple juice in the same amount.
• Flour – All-purpose flour creates a tender, crumbly topping.
• Butter – Unsalted butter, diced, which melts into the flour for a crisp, slightly creamy topping.
• Sugar – Regular granulated sugar for sweetness.
• Oats – A few tablespoons of rolled oats add crunch and depth when baked.

How to prepare Apple Peach and Oatmeal Crumble

A printable recipe and step-by-step card are included below for easy reference while you cook.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and grease an oven dish with butter.
2. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small cubes and place them in the bottom of the prepared dish.
3. Make the topping by rubbing the flour and diced butter between your fingers until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in the oats and sugar so everything is combined.
4. Slice the peaches into small cubes (or drain and cube canned peaches). Mix the peaches with the apples and pour a few tablespoons of peach juice (or apple juice for fresh peaches) over the fruit to keep it moist.
5. Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the fruit and bake for about 30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
