Crock Pot Desserts | Peach Crumble

Our family are big Peach Crumble fans!  Apple or Peach Crumble is an often requested dessert for a special meal.  If your family are Peach Cobbler fans, and you are looking for a change - or you just can't face turning the oven on in summer, try this - maybe you can start a new family tradition with your family. 

In the summer I make this (as you would Peach Cobbler) with fresh peaches, the rest of the year I use good quality peaches that have been canned in natural juice.  I love cooking in the slow cooker in the summer - anything to avoid turning the oven on - the slow cooker cooks your food, not you and the house.  It's a real blessing in the hotter months too.

Once the Peach Crumble is ready to serve, line up the plates, spoons and the vanilla icecream and get ready for the compliments!  Enjoy!


Peach Crumble

serves 4-5
cooks on high for 2 hours, then leave it to rest 1 hour before serving

2x14oz/800g canned peaches, drained
½ Cup self raising flour
½ Cup brown sugar
½ Cup rolled oats
¼ Cup chopped walnuts - optional
¼ Cup coconut - optional
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp mixed spice
2oz/50g cold butter

To prevent the crumble edges getting burned, line the sides of the slow cooker with a double layer of baking paper.
Add the drained fruit to the base.
Make a crumble with the topping ingredients and sprinkle mixture evenly over.
Cover and cook for 2 hours, then remove the lid, turn off and remove the paper liner. Leave it uncovered to cool so it is warm, not hot when served.
