I’ve recently rediscovered the “crumb cakes” from my childhood. They’re so easy to make, with a ten minute or less prep time and five ingredients or less. They’re the classic comfort food. This nutty peach crumb cake recipe can be made gluten free or in a “regular” version with a simple substitution. I adapted a basic recipe and added almonds and flavoring to give it an extra “oomph”, but it can be made without nuts if you prefer. It’s delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I prefer my cake to have less crumb topping, so I suggest using 1/2 of a boxed cake mix. You can easily mix up the entire box of cake mix if you want and freeze half for later to use as topping on another day.
Ingredients:
peach pie filling
gluten free (or regular) white or yellow cake mix
butter (don’t use margarine. It doesn’t taste as good!)
almond extract
roasted almonds, chopped
Directions:
Step 1: Spread peach pie filling evenly across the bottom of a 9″ by 9″ pan. (I spray my panwith cooking spray first for easy clean up.
Step 2: Mix cake mix, butter and almond extract together in a large bowl until crumbs form.
Step 3: Spread crumbs evenly across the top of the peach pie filling.
Step 4: Top with chopped roasted almonds>
Step 5: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees or until topping is no longer doughy.

I love anything peach and I adore a crumble topping! When I buy pie I try to find crumbles instead of regular crust. Thanks for the recipe! I will give it a try! Not the best baker, cooking is more my thing but it’s peach so it’s worth it!

I’m sure it tastes very similar to peach cobbler right? I haven’t had crumb cake before but it looks heavenly. I would love it with the almonds!

I have a couple jars of peaches I canned that need used up. Looks like I know what I’m going to be doing with them. Thanks for the great idea. My family will be surprised after dinner tonight!

Those crumb cakes look better than we had as kids. It is great to have this recipe and gluten free is even better. Will try and make them soon.
