- Divide the peach mixture among the muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
- Top each peach-filled cup generously with the crumble mixture, pressing it down lightly to secure.

Tips for the Best Results
- Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor. If they’re slightly under ripe, add a bit more sugar.
- Feel free to substitute with other fruits like nectarines or berries for a mixed fruit crumble.
- Make sure to not overmix the crumble topping; it should remain slightly chunky for the best texture.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract to the peach mixture.
Easy Variations
- Nutty topping: Add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble for a delightful crunch.
- Spiced twist: Mix in some ginger or cardamom with the peach filling for a unique flavor profile.
- Gluten-free option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
What to Serve With It
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
- A drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
- Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
