Description
A delicious peach crumble pie with a buttery crumb topping and spiced peach filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 single pie crust store bought or homemade
- 5 cups (1,020 g) peeled, diced peaches (about 8–10 peaches)
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (135 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (107 g) packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick, 85 g) unsalted butter melted, cooled slightly
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled, diced peaches with cornstarch, granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the peaches evenly and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- On a floured surface, roll the pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it carefully to a 9-inch pie dish, smoothing it into place. Trim the edges leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Fold the excess dough underneath and crimp for a decorative edge. Spoon the peach filling into the crust, reserving some of the juices. Refrigerate while preparing the topping.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly. Evenly sprinkle this topping over the peaches covering to the edges.
- Brush the pie crust edges with the prepared egg wash. Place the pie on a large baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 45-50 minutes until the crust edges are golden and the filling is bubbling. If the edges or topping brown too quickly, shield them with a pie shield or aluminum foil.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 3 hours before serving to let it set for perfect slices.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best results.
- Cooling the pie before slicing helps it hold its shape.
