When it comes to baking with peaches, fresh fruit is often the first choice. However, don't overlook desserts 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!

Peach Crumb Cake
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.
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.
👩🍳Recipe Notes
- 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.

💡Recipe FAQ
Simply click the plus sign to read more about the questions you see below. If YOU have a question regarding this recipe, please let me know in the comment section.
Over-baking a cake, whether it's from a box mix or from scratch, will cause the cake to dry out. Remember all ovens bake differently so set a timer to start checking if the cake is done around 5 minutes before the recipe says it should be baked completely.
Absolutely! Try swapping out the canned peaches with canned blueberry pie filling or even cherry pie filling.
