Ingredients

Crumb Cake Topping

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Peach Scones

  • 2 cups + 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (heavy whipping cream)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh peaches, cut into small cubes*

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Crumb Cake Topping

  • Mix cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar together. Add in the butter, and using a fork or your hands, work the butter into the dough until it is completely combined. The consistency should look a little bit like wet sand. Pinch and press the mixture into crumbs making the crumbs as big or small as you would like (I like to do a variety of sizes). Set aside.

Peach Scones

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer, mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add in the butter. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your stand mixer, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Next, add in the egg, heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Lastly, add in the peaches. Gently mix the dough together until the peaches are combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat the dough into a flat circle (about a 1/2” to 3/4” thick).
  • Press the crumb cake topping onto the top of the peach scone dough.
  • Next, cut the dough into 8 triangles. Using a spatula, place the peach scones on the parchment paper, making sure they are evenly spaced apart.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly brown on top.

Vanilla Glaze

  • While the scones are cooling, make the vanilla glaze.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream together. If the mixture is too thick, add in a bit more heavy cream. If the glaze feels too thin, add in a little more powdered sugar.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones.
  • Allow the glaze to set 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

*If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can use frozen peaches. However, you cannot use canned peaches—they are too soft/wet.
**I prefer the flavor of yellow peaches, but you can substitute white peaches.
