We love White Peaches for Desserts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

White peaches have a particularly fragrant, floral flavor and are often slightly more delicate than regular yellow peaches. Their sweetness pairs beautifully with fresh blueberries and the bright flavor of lemon. The thing is, if you buy a bag of peaches, they ALWAYS get ripe at the exact same time. This crumble is the perfect dessert for these occasions, when you need to use up lots of white peaches. Of yourse you can use regular peaches as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret to Extra-Crispy Crumble Topping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Try not to pile all the crumble topping too thickly over the fruit. The steam and fruit juices rising from the filling can make the bottom of a very thick layer of streusel soft instead of crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I therefore scatter only part of the crumble topping loosely over the fruit. I bake the remaining streusel separately on a small parchment-lined baking sheet or in a separate baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The separately baked streusel is sprinkled over the finished crumble just before serving. This gives you a juicy fruit filling, buttery baked topping, and an extra layer of crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Peaches Are Best for Peach Crumble?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use firm but ripe white peaches. They should smell fragrant and give slightly when gently pressed, but they should not be extremely soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I Have to Peel Peaches?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overripe peaches release much more liquid and tend to break down quickly during baking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, peeling the peaches is optional. I usually do not mind the skins in a rustic fruit crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To peel the peaches, lightly score a small X on the bottom of each peach. Place them in boiling water for about 30 seconds and then immediately transfer them to a bowl of very cold water.The skins should now peel off easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Add Flour and Pudding Powder to the Filling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using only flour can sometimes make the filling look slightly cloudy or taste a little dull. Vanilla pudding powder creates a smoother consistency while adding a subtle vanilla flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In North America, vanilla pudding powder is usually sold as vanilla custard powder or cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix. Use a powder that contains cornstarch and is intended to be cooked. Do not use prepared pudding. You can also use cornstarch or use more flour instead and add some vanilla paste to the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Prepare the Peach Crumble Ahead of Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can prepare the crumble several hours before you plan to bake it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the prepared fruit filling in the baking dish, cover it, and refrigerate it. Store the unbaked streusel separately in the refrigerator and scatter it over the fruit immediately before baking.Keeping the topping separate prevents it from absorbing moisture from the filling and helps the streusel remain crumbly and crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
