The 13 Best Summer Peach Recipes

Make the most of one of summer's favorite fruits with this list of the 13 Best Summer Peach Recipes! With everything from cobblers and crisps to muffins, overnight oats, and sangria, there is something for every craving and occasion.


The summer produce season is when I come alive. Juicy stone fruit, sweet berries, jammy tomatoes, refreshing melons, tender zucchini, and crisp lettuces abound, tasting worlds better than their out-of-season relatives. Naturally, I take every opportunity to celebrate!

Though it's hard for me to play favorites, I must confess that stonefruit like apricots, peaches, plums, and nectarines top my list of must-have summer produce. Peaches abound here in Colorado, so I've worked with them the most, publishing 10 recipes over the years. Peach cobbler, crisp, muffins, bread pudding, muffins, and more. There seems to be no bad way to enjoy them.

I figured it was time I collected the recipes all in one place, so today I'm rounding them up to make them more accessible. I hope doing so makes it easier for you to enjoy this beloved summer fruit, too.
