These flavorful peach glut recipes offer quick and easy ways to use up an abundance of peaches with simple ingredients, perfect for any occasion from brunch to dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 6 medium-sized ripe but firm peaches (freestone varieties preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for macerating)
  • Honey (optional, adds floral sweetness)
  • Brown sugar (optional, for caramel notes)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon (pinch for macerating and warmth)
  • Nutmeg (a pinch for depth)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish and herbal notes)
  • Fresh lemon juice and zest (about 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • Toasted pecans or almonds (optional, for crunch)
  • Heavy cream or Greek yogurt (for richness and tang, optional)
  • Additional spices like ground ginger or cardamom (optional for variation)
  • Fresh thyme and feta cheese (optional for savory twist)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice each peach into wedges, removing the pit carefully. Toss slices in a bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Macerate the Peaches (15 minutes): Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and a pinch of cinnamon over peach slices. Stir gently to coat and let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes until juices release.
  3. Make the Batter or Base (20 minutes): Cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, sift 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined. Fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour batter into prepared pan if making a baked dish.
  4. Assemble and Bake (30-35 minutes): Arrange macerated peaches evenly over batter. Optionally sprinkle chopped toasted pecans on top. Bake in preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until top is golden and a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve (10 minutes): Let dish cool slightly before serving to allow juices to thicken and flavors to meld. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix batter to avoid tough texture. Use freestone peaches for easier slicing. Macerate peaches at room temperature for 15 minutes to release juices without cooking. Adjust sugar based on peach ripeness. Toast nuts lightly before adding for enhanced flavor. For gluten-free option, substitute almond flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and coconut yogurt. Peaches can be served warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream. Leftovers keep refrigerated up to 3 days and freeze well.
