Peach Tarts & Pies

Peach Crostata

This peach crostata is scrumptiously easy. It really is a go to recipe - just like this plum galette - when you want an amazing dessert without any faff!!

All you do is :

1. Roll a rough round of pastry.
2. Toss cut peaches with lemon juice, brown sugar & vanilla essence
3. PLUS optionally rum & cinnamon!!
4. Dump fruit in centre of pastry.
5. Fold over an inch or so of pastry to make a crust.
6. Sprinkle with sugar.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

If you do want a slightly fancier look try this peach crostata recipe with a proper tart crust and enjoy the time taken to carefully arrange your peaches.

Custard Peach Tart

This custard peach tart truly comes into its own with slightly under ripe, frozen or canned peaches. You still get all the lovely peach flavour but with a bit of lift from the custard filling. Don't be put off by the idea custard is complicated - this peach recipe still only needs 20 minutes prep.

Peach Tartlets

Pretty peach tartlets make lovely tea time treats and this peach tartlet recipe is super easy with frozen puff pastry and a quick almond & glaze topping.

But great fresh peaches don't even need the extra topping and these alternative peach tartlets are amazing with nothing more added than brown sugar and vanilla extract.

White Peach Tart

The French really do win at simple classic fruit tarts - whether peach, plum or pear - and this French inspired white peach tart is a perfect example.

If you have firmer, less juicy white peaches try this alternative white peach tart recipe with a cakier base that doesn't need chilling.

Peach Frangipane Tart

The very best seasonal fruit shines in the simplest of recipes but I have to confess, I cannot resist frangipane tarts whether the plum frangipane we made with plums from our garden this week or this amazing peach frangipane tart recipe.

Peach Tarte Tatin

Tarte tatin's are one of those French fruit tarts that look super impressive and tricky but with simple recipes like this peach tarte tatin are actually incredibly easy - you just have to master flipping them over at the end!!

No Bake Peach Tart

Perfectly ripe - bordering on soft - fresh peaches are ideal for this peach tart which is just a baked crust filled with a mix of mascarpone, cream cheese, heavy cream and confectioner's sugar and topped with fresh peaches.

It can be a good option if you want to cut down on added sugar as neither the crust nor the lusciously creamy filling truly need sugar to taste amazing.

Peach & Berry Tart

If you are after a beautifully easy peach recipe with a bit less added sugar try this peach & berry tart which has only just over 1 teaspoon per helping.

Peach Pie

A peach pie with a pretty lattice topping is a great way to use up lots of peaches from the freezer as the weather cools in autumn and winter.

The lattice does take a little more time but somehow I think peaches need that extra air to caramelise a bit and so aren't so good - unlike apples - under a plain flat crust.

Peach Cakes

Easy Fresh Peach Cake

I honestly think tarts are the very best way to enjoy fresh ripe peaches but peach cakes are amazing if you've got a haul of peaches from the back garden, market or pick your own farm.

This super easy fresh peach cake with yoghurt which manages to be both cakey and creamy really does do fresh peaches justice!

Peach Skillet Cake

Alternatively try this simply gorgeous peach skillet cake which combines peaches with blueberries and a sour cream cake mixture.

Peach Upside Down Cakes

These adorable mini peach upside down cakes make lovely tea time treats or sweet individual deserts but are again super easy. If you did want to make them fancy for dinner guests you could add a tiny splash of brandy or bourbon in the base.

Peach Cobbler, Crisp & Crumble

Peach Cobbler

A simple classic peach cobbler is an easy no-brain-effort way to use up lots of peaches. Personally I prefer peach cobbler in the winter when its great with peaches from the freezer or a forgotten can you need to declutter from the kitchen.

This peach cobbler recipe peels the peaches but when you're cooking them for 40 minutes I am not convinced you need to and there's real goodness in them there skins!! Your call.

Peach Crisp

This crunchy peach crisp recipe with a cinnamon flavoured oat, almond flour and walnut topping can be prepared in just 15 minutes and is very flexible. You could easily use pecans, macadamia, pistachios or whatever nuts you have to hand in your cupboards.

Peach Crumble

There's endless debate about the differences betweens cobblers and crumbles and crisps but for me this easy peach crumble recipe is the classic British crumble with a simple streusel like topping over loads of super juicy peaches.

Peach Bars

These scrumptious little peach crumb bars are stuffed full of fruit but fuss free! They are basically a shortbread-like base and streusel crumb topping with peaches and and sour cream custard in between. They are heavenly with fresh peaches but frozen will do.

This alternative peach bar recipe is very similar but skips the custardy centre.

My only caveat with these recipes is they have way more added sugar than they need i.e. 6-8 teaspoons per bar!!

You can easily slash the sugar - e.g. boost the butter in the base - without losing the lovely peach taste.

Peach Scones

If you love peaches and you love scones, you will love these peach scones or rather peaches & cream scones as the scone dough has both Greek yoghurt and heavy cream!

With beautiful fresh peaches and all that cream, I would skip the glaze, which will bring each scone in with less than 2 teaspoons of added sugar.

Peach Ice Cream

Peaches and cream are a match made in heaven and so is homemade peach ice cream. This simple peach ice cream recipe doesn't use eggs and can be made quickly in a blender.

Alternatively, try this traditional peach ice cream recipe with eggs if you do have an ice cream maker.

Grilled & Roast Peaches

Grilled Peaches

These gorgeous grilled peaches with honey, thyme and mascarpone take just 5 minutes to prepare and less than 10 minutes to transform under the grill!

Personally, I think the peaches are delicious just brushed with the butter and without the added sugar - the butter lets the amazing natural sweetness of the peaches come through without overwhelming it.

And let's be honest - we could all do with seriously slashing our sugar intake!

Roast Peaches

Roasted or baked peaches are a wonderful option if you have fresh peaches to use up but no time to bake and already have the oven on. Just arrange cut peaches cut side up in a baking dish and fill with some combination or another of :

1. Butter or olive oil
2. Brown sugar
3. Honey or maple syrup
4. A tiny pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves or all spice
5. A splash of brandy, rum or whisky.

Roast for 30 minutes and serve them straight from the oven with cream, Greek yoghurt, creme fraiche, mascarpone or whatever you have.

Peach Meringues

Peach Meringue Pie

Great fresh peaches are so delicious on their own and we really do need to avoid gilding the lily but ... if you are looking for a serious show stopper for a special occasion this peach meringue pie is stunning!

Peach Pavlova

Or for an equally stunning but slightly simpler option go for this peach pavlova recipe - big meringues look impressive if you've never made them before but are super easy, as long as your eggs are fresh.
