Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 lbs sliced frozen peaches (or fresh peaches, peeled and sliced)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Topping:

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust (for the base)
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Garnish:

  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using frozen peaches, thaw them slightly and drain excess liquid to prevent a watery filling.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with 1 cup of granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
  2. Pour the peach mixture into the pie crust-lined pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Topping

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

  1. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the peach filling, covering it completely. Press lightly to ensure the topping adheres.

Step 5: Bake the Pie

  1. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  2. If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 20–30 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set slightly.
  2. Serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips for Success

  • Peach Prep: If using fresh peaches, peel them by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste the peaches before adding sugar—if they’re very sweet, reduce the sugar slightly.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the pie up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave for best results.
