If you’re looking for a dessert that’s both delicious and easy to make, sautéed peaches with biscuit crumbs and seeds is a wonderful choice. This dessert combines the natural sweetness of fresh peaches with a crunchy topping, creating a mix of flavours and textures that feels satisfying without being heavy.
The star of the dish is the peach, a juicy, fragrant fruit that only gets better when sautéed. Cooking the peach slices in a little butter brings out their natural sugars, making them soft and caramelised. Adding a touch of honey or vanilla enhances the sweetness, but the peaches are still the main flavour. This simple step lets their natural taste shine.
The biscuit crumbs add a nice crunch and a hint of flavour to balance the peaches. You can use different types of biscuits, such as shortbread for a buttery taste or ginger biscuits for a spicy kick. The crumbs soak up some of the peach juice, adding a chewy texture and a warm flavour that blends beautifully with the fruit.
Sprinkling seeds on top brings another layer to the dessert. Toasted pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, or flax seeds add an earthy, slightly nutty taste and a little savoury contrast. These seeds also add a satisfying crunch, making every bite interesting.
Sautéed peach slices with biscuit crumbs and seeds is a dessert that feels both fresh and comforting. It’s perfect for summer and autumn, letting you enjoy the natural flavours of the season’s fruits. Whether served on its own or with a dollop of crème fraîche or Greek yoghurt, this dish is light yet satisfying and elegant enough for guests.
With warm peaches, crunchy crumbs, and a hint of nutty seeds, this dessert is a great example of how simple ingredients can make an impressive, delicious treat. It’s a quick dessert that’s sure to be a favourite!

The peaches turned out perfectly and the biscuit crunch was the finishing touch. Thank you.
I would have every meal if allowed.
The seeds add such a nice texture, and the biscuit crumbs give a little indulgence without being too sweet.
I used ginger biscuits for an extra bit of spice, and it was wonderful. The sautéed peaches were sweet and soft, and the seeds gave it a unique, slightly savoury crunch.
This was such an easy but impressive dessert to make.
I used some oat biscuits and a mix of seeds, which added a great depth of flavour.
