How to Make Peach Crumble for Two
- Spray ramekins with non stick cooking spray.
- Peel and slice the peaches. Slice them 1/2 inch thick.
How to Peel Peaches:
- Fill a large pan with water and bring to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Once water has come to a boil, add peaches to boiling water a couple at a time and leave in water for a minute or so.
- Remove and put into cold water. The skin should peel right off. If it doesn’t leave in the boiling water for a little longer. Then just cut the peach in half, remove the stone and slice!
- In a small sauce pan, place 2 cups of peeled peaches along with 1 Tbsp brown sugar and 1 Tbsp granulated sugar pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Stir to coat.
- Over medium high heat, cook peaches until heated through and the sugar has begun to caramelize.
- In a small bowl, combine crumble ingredients: butter, sugars, flour baking powder and salt.
- Mix together until combined and crumbly with two forks or your hands..
- Divide peaches evenly between two prepared ramekins. Sprinkle half of the crumble mixture on top of each ramekin.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until peaches bubble and are hot and the crumble mixture is lightly golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes to allow juices to thicken.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips from leigh Anne
- Be sure and slice your peaches evenly, about 1/2 inch thick. You want them all approximately the same size for even cooking.
- Use ripe peaches. This is the perfect dessert for peach season. I like to use a ripe, yellow peach for this peach crumble for two. The peach should be soft, not mushy. You can tell a peach is ripe when you gently press on it and it makes a slight indent with little pressure. Â
- If you want more crunch to your crumble add in a tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans.

I don’t recommend it as they have a lot of moisture and make for a soggy crumble
