Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 4 cups sliced peaches
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it or spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into the prepared pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup white sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Gently mix until peaches are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- For the streusel topping, in a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and oats until it forms a crumbly mixture.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 1/2 cup of white sugar until soft peaks form.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the peach filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes. Top with the whipped cream before serving.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the most intense flavor - they should yield slightly when gently pressed.
- For extra flakiness, chill your pie crust before rolling and fitting it into the dish.
- Use room temperature butter for the streusel to ensure it crumbles perfectly.
- Don't overmix the peach filling to maintain the fruit's natural texture.
- Watch the pie carefully in the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Let the pie cool slightly before adding whipped cream to prevent melting.
- For a gourmet touch, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the streusel.
