Ingredients to Make Peach and Raspberry Crumble:
- Peaches – I use frozen to keep cost down and prep-work to a minimum, but fresh peaches are a great option too!
- Raspberries – tart and juicy raspberries brighten the flavor and add a pretty pop of color
- Coconut Sugar – this dessert is naturally sweetened with a touch of coconut sugar and a dash of Maple Syrup. Brown sugar or cane sugar would work well too! Use what you have on hand 😊
- Vanilla Extract – adds depth of flavor to the crumble and really compliments the fruit
- Lemon Juice – brightens the natural flavor of the fruit and balances the sweetness
- Cornstarch – this help bring the filling together and thickens the peach juices as the crumble bakes
- Coconut Oil – use refined instead of virgin so that the crumble with taste rich and buttery
- Old Fashioned Oats – the crumble topping is made with old fashioned oats, Flour and Walnuts and it turns a beautiful golden brown color in the oven!
- Cinnamon and Nutmeg – a sprinkle of warming cinnamon and nutmeg adds a touch of cozy warmth while still allowing the flavor of the peaches and berries to shine.

How to Make Crumble Topping
Crumble topping is very easy to make. It’s one of those delightfully old fashioned recipes where just a few staple pantry ingredients transform into the most delicious dessert!
STEP 1
It starts by combining the dry ingredients in a big bowl. I use oats, flour and coconut sugar. Then I mix in some crunchy walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
STEP 2
Next I add melted coconut oil, a dash of vanilla and a spoonful of maple syrup to the same bowl and mix it altogether until a crumbly dough is formed.
STEP 3
Sprinkle the crumble over the fruit and bake.
When the crumble bakes, the oats and walnuts become nicely toasted and flavorful and the cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg mingle with the summer fruits. The result is a crumble topping that tastes rich and buttery even though it’s completely dairy-free.
Tip: You can use this crumble topping for any fruit dessert so it’s a good one to bookmark and come back to whenever you have apples, berries or stone fruits that you want to transform into a cozy dessert.
How to Make Peach Crumble Budget-Friendly
Fresh peaches and berries are a delicious combo but I actually like to use frozen fruit for this dessert for three reasons:
- Frozen peaches are a great time saver because they’re pre-pitted, peeled and sliced meaning all you have to do is open the bag and pour them into the mixing bowl. No prep work required!
- Frozen fruit is often more budget-friendly than fresh.
- Stocking up on frozen peaches and raspberries means that I can make this crumble whenever I want with just a few staple pantry ingredients.
Of course you can use fresh fruit too! I do it both ways depending on what I have on hand. If you’re using fresh make sure to score, blanch and peel the peaches to remove the skin before baking.
Hope you love this Peach and Raspberry Crumble. It’s honestly one of my favorite peach desserts and I’m so excited for you to try it!
