Description
A classic peach crumble pie featuring juicy peaches, a buttery flaky crust, and a cinnamon-spiced brown sugar crumble topping. Perfectly sweet and irresistibly comforting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ½ sticks unsalted butter (cubed and chilled)
- ¼ to ½ cup ice-cold water
- 7–8 medium ripe peaches (about 6 ½ to 7 cups peeled, sliced)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons cornstarch or instant tapioca
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon brown sugar, packed
- 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cold water gradually, mixing until dough holds together. Divide into two discs and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Peel and slice peaches. Toss with lemon juice. In another bowl, mix sugars, cornstarch, spices, salt, and vanilla. Combine with peaches and let sit.
- Roll out bottom crust and place into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges. Pour in peach filling and dot with butter.
- Roll out second dough disc and top the pie. Seal edges, crimp, and cut slits or make a lattice.
- Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle over the pie. Brush crust with egg wash and optionally sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes. Reduce to 350°F (175°C) and bake 40–50 minutes more until golden and bubbly.
- Cool on a wire rack for 3–4 hours before serving.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. Chill the dough thoroughly for a flakier crust. Let the pie cool fully to ensure the filling sets.
