White Peach Cardamom Crumble.
I know. Peaches. They’re EVERYWHERE.
This is especially annoying when you live in an area that gets roughly 27 good peaches a summer split between thousands of people.
And I can’t stop talking about them. Actually, I’m sort of depressed sharing this recipe with you today, because I have another totally outrageous, inappropriate and insane (and better?) peach recipe to share with you in the next week. I mean, I hesitate to say better because this crumble was pretty incredible… and I should know since I ate almost the entire thing with one spoon. Like, singular. One single spoon.
Oh well. Time to deal with peaches.
White peaches are so pretty, right? I know. I just want to eat them up.
Luckily I did just that.
And the cardamom? Well, I love me some cardamom but I sort of think that it tastes like… Christmas. It’s just so… WARM. It’s warming and warmy. If I could think of another word besides warm I would definitely use it. But I can’t. So it’s Christmasy and warm. And let me tell you why that’s a problem for me, okay?
I just get so confused when things aren’t in the right seasons. While I’m not exactly Type A anymore, I like my seasons to be a bit… rigid. Oh and while we’re on that topic, I used to be the Type A-est person ever, until I married the Type A-est person ever. Tip: two seriously Type A people in a marriage is a tricky, tricky thing. Tip: A very Type A and very Type B marriage is also a tricky thing. I don’t know what I am anymore but I’ve been forced to end up somewhere in the middle, which is sort of fine by me since it means I can slack a little when it comes to putting away the dishes or folding men’s underwear since I NEVER DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
No skin off my back.
But the seasons. I like my crunchy leaves and pumpkin in the fall, some snow and hot chocolate in winter, some floral breezes and mimosas in the spring and some sunscreen and sand in the summer. I just can’t work with unseasonal things. Does.not.compute. So cardamom in my crumble was a BIG deal.
But it was a good big deal. A great big deal. A big deal that I want to eat again. Like a million and twenty times.

Ingredients
- 6 white peaches, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons loosely packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
crumble
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup loosely packed brown sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lay peaches in a baking dish (mine was a rectangular 7 x 10) and sprinkle with brown sugar, cardamom and salt. Toss to coat, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and salt, stirring to mix. Mash in softened butter using a fork or your hands, until coarse crumbles remain.

Yes crumble! I made one with nectarines a couple weeks ago, and it was amazing. Clearly I need to give this one a shot too–you know, to compare. :)
I thought to myself, no, you don’t need crisp right now. Not at all. And then I saw your last pic with the melty ice cream & now I’m done for. Must.make.crisp.now.
Holy deliciousness!
This looks wicked-awesome! And so unique :)
I bought a jar of cardamom for a recipe once and a friend told me I’d never use it again. I have made it my life’s work to use it anywhere and everywhere I come across a recipe for it. This one’s a winner…and will be promptly e-mailed to said friend with a “see, I told you so!” attached for the 597th time. :)
Lovely, we actually have a peach farm down the road and for 2 glorious weeks each year we get the best peaches ever. Then they go away. I think that makes it even worst when you have to go to the normal grocery store and they are gross.
As usual, sounds fantastic!
do you think I could make these in individual ramekins?
You are my favorite person to hang with in the morning Jess.
Lovely peach crumble. Your wihte peaches look gorgoeus. The ones we have here in Australia dont look so white
I like most crumbles except peach..now that you added cardamom I must try this!! :-) looks great!!
Yum! Cardamom is one of my all-time favorite spices. I made a nectarine and cardamom crisp last week last week and I couldn’t get enough! Great minds think alike ;)
This looks delicious! I love the idea of peach and cardamom, and I always love a crumble!
I have a huge peach crumble in the oven right now. Wish I’d read this post so I could have added some cardamom :)
This was my favorite part: “serves 4 appropriately, 2 obnoxiously.” Ha! And if I eat the whole pan in one sitting?
Made it…love it….and to add a page from your other play books, I put in 1/2 cup shredded coconut to the topping mix. OUT OF THIS WORLD YUM!
i just made this. great flavor, however, i had about an inch of juice in the pan after it cooked. if i were going to make it again, i’d add flour to the peaches in the beginning and i would double the topping.

Hi Jessica,
I’d like to make this for an upcoming dinner party, but I wanted to see what you think about making it ahead. I was going to just put it together during the day, keep it in the fridge, and then pop it in the oven later. I assume the only reason the butter needs to be softened is to mix it with the other ingredients…or would you not recommend putting it back in the fridge?
Thanks!
While i’ve never tried it, I think that sounds like it would work. Either let the pan come to room temp first so you don’t have any shattering issues, or use a disposable aluminum tin?
Hi Jessica, I just came across this recipe shared on another site and wanted to find the source to thank you for the share! Definitely going to try this out at home – peaches are my favourite fruit :) x
