Stone fruit season is here and in full swing, but not for long! These 12 Incredible Stone Fruit Recipes are the perfect way to celebrate the season, if you can manage to not just eat them all right out of hand.
Have you noticed the stone fruit lately? Peaches so ripe they practically fall apart in your hand, cherries you can’t stop popping one after another, and the perfect plums you want to eat until you actually regret your life choices?
This is the good stuff, and it’s only around for a few more weeks. Every summer I bake my way through all of it, because these fruits just aren’t the same the rest of the year. My family looks forward to these recipes every year, and honestly, so do I.
From a buttery peach pie to a no-bake cherry crumble and a spiced plum shortcake that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible, there’s something here for every stone fruit lover. Grab whatever looks best at the farmers market this week and let’s put it to good use.
1. Ultimate Peach Pie
This is the peach pie I make every single summer without fail. Juicy peaches get slicked in a sweet glaze and tucked into the flakiest crust you’ll ever make at home. It’s a family favorite around here, and one bite will tell you why.

2. Peach Cobbler
When peaches hit their peak, this is what I make first. The topping is soft and cake-like with just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, and the peaches underneath turn bubbling and jammy in the oven. It’s about as good as summer gets.

3. Homemade Peach Ice Cream
You don’t even need an ice cream machine for this one. It comes together in minutes with five ingredients, and the flavor is pure peach, nothing else getting in the way.

4. Burrata Peach Salad with Arugula & Prosciutto
Sweet peaches, peppery arugula, salty prosciutto, and creamy burrata. It’s somewhere between a peach caprese and a panzanella, and it’s become one of my go-to summer starters.

5. Peach Zucchini Crumb Muffins
I’m usually swimming in both peaches and zucchini around this time of year, so combining them just made sense. These muffins are moist, full of fruit, and topped with a cinnamon streusel that I could honestly eat by the spoonful.

6. Brown Butter Peach Crumble Ice Cream
Brown butter adds a depth to the vanilla custard base that regular butter just can’t match, and it pairs perfectly with juicy summer peaches. Fold in a little cinnamon streusel and you’ve got a proper late-summer treat.

7. No-Bake Cherry Crumble
Too hot to turn on the oven? This one’s mostly just cherries, topped with a buttery spiced crumb and a dollop of Greek yogurt. I won’t judge if you eat it for breakfast.

8. Cherry Pie
Cherries are my favorite part of summer, so I always make at least one cherry pie before the season’s over. Sweet, jammy filling in my go-to buttery crust. An old-fashioned classic that never lets me down.

9. Cherry Cheesecake
A splash of almond extract brings out the best in cherries, in my opinion. This New York style cheesecake sits on a buttery graham crust with a swirl of cherry topping over the top.

10. Chocolate Cherry Galette
Cherries and chocolate is a combination I never get tired of. This galette is free-form, so there’s no pressure to crimp a perfect edge. Roll out the chocolate crust, pile on the cherries, fold in the sides, and you’re done.

11. Cherry Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy, and balanced between sweet, tart, and nutty. These are studded with chocolate chips, dried cherries, and almonds, and they hold up well for days, if they even last that long in your house.

12. Plum Biscoff Shortcakes
I’ve had this flavor combination on my mind for weeks. Something about plums makes me want to pair them with spice, and these caramelly Biscoff scones layered with sweet plums and whipped cream turned out even better than I expected.
