Peach Desserts
When peaches are at their best, so is dessert. We rounded up the cobblers, crisps, galettes, cakes, bars, and no-bake treats worth the ripe fruit - each one better with a sparkly sugar finish on top. Move fast: peach season is basically a rumor by September.
Our Peach Top Picks
Five standouts across every category - if you only bake one this weekend, start here.
Rustic Summer Peach Galette
Free-form, forgiving, and gorgeous - the galette is the lazy baker's pie, and it's better for it. Brush the folded edge and shower it with Sparkling Sugar for that crackly, glinting crust.
Best-Ever Skillet Peach Cobbler
A cast-iron cobbler with a golden, craggy biscuit top and bubbling fruit underneath. Sparkling Sugar on the biscuit before baking gives the crown its crunch.
Peach Cobbler Upside-Down Cake
Caramelized peaches crown a soft cake - a showstopper that's easier than it looks. Sparkling Sugar on the rim adds a crunchy edge.
Peach Hand Pies
Brush, sprinkle, bake - the sugared tops are half the reason to make hand pies at all.
No-Bake Peach Cheesecake Cobbler
Cobbler flavor, cheesecake ease, and no oven required for the heat of August. A little Sanding Sugar on top for a finished look.
Pies & Galettes
Ripe peaches and flaky crust - the oldest trick in the summer baking book, and still the best one.
Rustic Summer Peach Galette
Free-form, forgiving, and gorgeous - the galette is the lazy baker's pie, and it's better for it. Brush the folded edge and shower it with Sparkling Sugar for that crackly, glinting crust.
Easy Peach Galette
A clean, reliable galette that comes together fast with ripe summer peaches. A tumble of Sparkling Sugar on the edge before baking finishes it like a bakery - big crystals that keep their crunch.

The classic double-crust peach pie, dialed in. Sprinkle Sparkling Sugar over the egg-washed lattice for shine and crunch that survives the oven.
The Sparkly Finish
Every peach bake is better with a sparkly finish. Our White Sparkling Sugar brings big-crystal crunch and shine that survive the oven - sprinkle it on before baking. Our Natural Sanding Sugar is the finishing touch, with fine, even shimmer and color from plants, no synthetic dyes - add it after baking or on no-bake treats. Both non-GMO sourced.
Cobblers & Crisps

We've Got Answers
What are the best peaches for baking?
Freestone peaches (the pit pulls out cleanly) are easiest for baking; look for fragrant, slightly soft fruit. Clingstone works too - it's just fussier to pit.
Can I use frozen or canned peaches?
Yes - thaw and drain frozen peaches well, and drain canned ones, since extra liquid is the main cause of a watery bake.
Do you peel peaches for cobbler or pie?
Your call - peels soften in baking and add color, but for the smoothest texture, blanch and slip them off.
How do you keep peach cobbler or pie from getting watery?
Macerate the peaches and drain some juice, and thicken with cornstarch or tapioca. Let the bake rest so the filling sets.
Cobbler vs crisp vs crumble - what's the difference?
Cobbler has a biscuit or batter top; crisp has oats in the topping; crumble is a streusel top without oats. All welcome a sugared finish.
