Best Crumb Topped Peach Pie Recipes

PEACH CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Combine sugar, flour, butter, and salt in a bowl; mix with your fingers until it has a pea-sized, crumbly texture. Put 1/3 of the mixture into the pie crust.
• Lay peach halves, flat-sides down, onto the crumb mixture. Cut remaining peach halves into sections and place in between the halves to fill any spaces. Place remaining crumble mixture on top and sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue to bake until set and golden, about 30 minutes more.

PEACH CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• To make the filling:
• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cornstarch to a small bowl and whisk in the lemon juice so no lumps remain. Pour the cornstarch mixture over the peaches and toss. Let the peaches sit for 15 minutes while you roll out the pie dough and make the streusel topping.
• To make the topping:
• Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Blend the butter into the mixture with your fingers until it forms pea-size lumps and looks crumbly. Stir in the almonds.
• To assemble:
• Roll out the dough an extra inch on a lightly-floured surface. Place the dough in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp edges as desired.
• Pour the pie filling into the pie shell and sprinkle the streusel topping over the pie. Dot the top with sliced butter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

PEACH CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line pie pan with pie crust.
• Mix peaches with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and lemon juice.
• Pour peaches into pie crust.
• To make the crumb topping use a fork to combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and butter until it forms a pea sized crumb.
• Top the peaches with the crumb mixture and place the pie plate on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.

PEACH CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Make crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and granulated sugar until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time); do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edges. Make filling: In a large bowl, toss together peaches, brown sugar, and flour until combined. Make crumble: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and oats; using your hands, work in butter until large clumps form.
• Transfer peach filling to pie shell, then sprinkle crumble evenly over top. Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until juices are bubbling and topping is golden, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 1 1/2 hours before serving.

CRUMB TOPPED PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust, combine very cold butter pieces with shortening, flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Using a pastry blender or two knives, mix until pea-sized crumbs are formed.
• Add 1 Tbsp of the ice cold water and mix, using a fork, then add another Tbsp of the water, and mix with the fork- do this until the dough forms into a mass (you may not need all of the water).
• Don't add too much water or it will get gluey.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4" thickness.
• Line an UNGREASED 9" pie plate with the pastry, trimming excess and crimping edges.
• Line crust with a circle of wax paper, then pour raw rice or beans into the shell.
• Bake in a preheated 350 F oven until the crust turns golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Let cool, removing the rice and paper, and set aside.
• Once pastry has cooled, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling,set whole peaches into a bowl of cold water to cover.
• Set this bowl near the stove.
• Remove peaches from the water using a slotted spoon, saving the bowl of water, and set the peaches onto a paper towel-lined plate.
• Fill a large saucepan with water- one big enough to hold the peaches.
• Bring water to a boil, then drop in the peaches briefly, about 30 seconds- just to blanch them.
• Immediately remove them using a slotted spoon and put them back into the bowl of cold water.
• This will help make peeling the peaches easier (you can skip the blanching step if you wish and just peel the peaches with a paring knife).
• Once the peaches are cool enough to handle, remove the skins (stubborn bits can be removed with a paring knife).
• Cut peaches into halves, discard pits, then slice peaches and put into a large mixing bowl.
• Add sugar, almond extract, and cornstarch, stirring to coat.
• Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell.
• Make the topping by first melting the butter over low heat in a small pan.
• Once the butter melts, add the sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon and stir until crumbly.
• Immediately remove from the heat and mound the topping over the peaches.
• Place pie plate onto a rimmed cookie sheet, then pop the whole thing into the oven, preheated to 375 F, and bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges, about 60-70 minutes.
• Check often to make sure the topping isn't getting too dark- if it does, place a tent of foil over it.
• Let cool on a wire rack.

PEACH PIE WITH ALMOND CRUMBLE TOPPING

Steps:

• To make topping: Combine flour, sugar and nutmeg in a mixing bowl; stir well to mix and stir in sliced almonds. Stir in butter evenly. Set aside for 5 minutes, then, using your fingertips, break the mixture into 1/4 to 1/2-inch crumbs. Set aside again while you prepare the filling.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and set racks at middle level. Roll out bottom crust and arrange in 9-inch Pyrex plate.
• To make filling: Peel the peaches by cutting a cross in the blossom end of each and dropping them three at a time into a pan of boiling water. Remove after 20 or 30 seconds with a slotted spoon or skimmer and drop them into a bowl of ice water. If the peaches are ripe, the skin will slip off easily. If it does not, remove the skin with a sharp stainless steel paring knife. (If you peel it with a knife, include an extra peach for what you have peeled away.) Hold each peeled peach gently in your left hand over a mixing bowl (if you are left handed reverse.) With a stainless steel paring knife make a cut through to the pit, from stem to blossom end. Make another cut about 3/4-inch to the right of the first one along the outside of the peach. Angle the knife blade back so the cuts meet at the pit. Twist the knife blade upward slightly as a wedge of peach will fall into the bowl. Continue in the same manner around the peach, cutting it into 8 to 10 wedges. Discard the pit and repeat with remaining peaches. Add remaining ingredients, except the butter, to the peaches and stir gently with a rubber spatula to combine. Pour filling into the prepared pastry shell and smooth. Dot with the butter.
• Scatter the crumb topping evenly over the filling. Place pie on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees and move pie to the middle rack. Bake another 30 minutes, or until the crust and crumble are a deep golden and the juices are just beginning to bubble up. Cool the pie on a rack and serve warm or room temperature.

SINGLE CRUST PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Cream sugar and butter or margarine together. Add flour and nutmeg; mix until mealy. Spread 1/2 of mixture in pie crust. Arrange peaches on top of crumb mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top of peaches.
• Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for ten minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 40 minutes, or until brown.
