Crumb Topped Peach Pie Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. On lightly floured surface, shape pastry into flattened disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. (If refrigerated longer, let dough soften slightly before rolling.)
• Heat oven to 425°F. On lightly floured surface, roll pastry with floured rolling pin into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into quarters; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; press edge with tines of fork or flute if desired.
• Place peaches in pastry-lined plate. Mix granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg; sprinkle over peaches. In small bowl, beat whipping cream and egg with fork or wire whisk until blended; pour over peaches. In another small bowl, mix topping ingredients with fork until crumbly; sprinkle over peaches.
• Cover edge of pastry with 2- to 3-inch-wide strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm.

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.

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.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Brush egg white over dough; refrigerate while making filling. , In a large bowl, combine peaches and 2 tablespoons flour; toss to coat. In a small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup flour and sugars; cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Sprinkle two-thirds into pastry; top with peach mixture. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. , Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and peaches are tender. Cover with foil during the last 15 minutes if it begins to brown too quickly.

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.
