About The Recipe
I have never been more excited for the end of July! Honestly, my mom and I have been wanting to make grilled peaches for the blog for about 2 years now, but by the time we get around to it, they always go out of season! Now, we were determined. This year was going to be the year we finally get to share our recipe…though, I wasn’t sure it was going to happen!
Since the start of May, we have been scanning the grocery stores and farmers market looking for early peaches…but time kept going by. We looked, and looked, and looked. When mid-May hit, it was time for mild panic.
We did some Googling and we were right! Early peaches, in Texas, generally begin in mid-May. So…where are the peaches? Turns out, we both forgot there was a pretty bad ice storm + a few cold snaps and…peaches were a little bit late. Great.
So, here we were, entering the last full week of July and waiting on peaches while trying to come up with another recipe as a backup plan.
By some miracle, a farm not too far from us posted that they finally had their first crop of peaches!
We got up the next morning and drove and finally got ourselves some peaches. Which means, we are finally getting to share this recipe! After two years of waiting! And trust me, it’s sooo worth it.
Every bite of one of these peaches is juicy, sweet, and absolutely delicious. Especially when you serve them with the crumble and a scoop of ice cream! You could not ask for a better summertime dessert. The peaches remain slightly firm, so there’s just a little bite, but they really release all their flavor while grilling. Then, being brushed with honey adds just a touch of natural sweetness.
I could eat the whole batch by myself! They’re SO good.

How To Make Grilled Peaches

In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork.
Stir in the sliced almonds.
Step 2: Bake
Spread crumble out onto a lined sheet pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool completely. Crumble and set aside.
Step 3: Halve and grill peaches
Halve the peaches and carefully remove the pits.
Place face down on a greased and hot grill. Let cook for 2 – 2 ½ minutes. Turn over and let cook another 2-3 minutes. Set on sheet pan and continue until no more peach halves remain.
Step 4: Serve
Finish each peach halve with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of honey, and the crumble!
Can I Store These Grilled Peaches?

Substitutions

Expert Tips
- Depending on how hot your grill is, the cook time will need to be adjusted. We found that cooking on medium-low heat allowed the peaches to be cooked, but not mushy, after 2-3 minutes on each side.
- If you don’t have a grill pan or would just prefer to cook these outside, heat grill to 425° F. Spray grill with high heat cooking spray. Brush each peach half with vegetable oil. Grill, cut side down, for 3-4 minutes. Flip over. Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- If your peaches are already sweet, feel free to skip drizzling with honey! We just liked the added flavor, in addition to the ice cream and crumble.
- Ripe peaches work best for this recipe.
- Be careful when halving and de-pitting the peaches! You don’t want to bruise them.
- This recipe does not keep.
- Keep an eye on the crumble while it’s in the oven! You don’t want it to over-brown.
- Use your hands or a spatula to crumble the topping.
