When it comes to baking with peaches, fresh fruit is often the first choice. However, don't overlook that many desserts can be made with canned peaches!

While fresh peaches have their charm, canned peaches offer convenience, year-round availability, and a burst of fruity goodness that can elevate your baked treats to new heights.

Which is why I include canned peaches or fruit on my Ten Items in your Pantry Checklist and Printable so we all can enjoy the taste of summer even when peaches are out of season!

How to make Crumb Cake with Box Cake Mix

I have always enjoyed crumb cake! Whenever we visited my grandparents in Westchester County, NY, my parents would always buy a crumb cake from our neighborhood bakery to take along with us.

• For a good crumb topping, you need a balance of dry and wet ingredients. To achieve this, combine flour, sugar, and spices for the dry ingredients, and then add melted butter or oil for the wet ingredients.
• If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon or even nutmeg.
• For a more delectable crumb topping, enhance it with chopped nuts or rolled oats. These additions will introduce extra texture and a delightful nutty flavor to your desserts.

This recipe is very similar to my Blueberry Crumb Cake. However, for this recipe, I take a shortcut and use a boxed cake mix, which is another one of my Cake Mix Baking Hacks.

How to Store, Freeze and Thawing Tips

Refrigerate: Store it in the refrigerator for a few days. Use an airtight container or tightly wrap the dessert in plastic wrap. The cake will stay fresh for up to 3–4 days.

Freezer: Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag or airtight container. The cake can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Thawing Tips: Transfer the frozen cake to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw overnight.
