Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 4 cups sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup of white sugar. Let the peaches sit for 10 minutes to release their natural juices.
- In a separate bowl, create the crumb topping by mixing almond flour, all-purpose flour, softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use your fingers to blend until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Drain any excess liquid from the peaches, then spread them evenly across the chilled pie crust.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the peach layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the most intense flavor - if they smell sweet, they'll taste amazing!
- Chill your pie crust before filling to prevent a soggy bottom and ensure a flaky texture.
- Let the peaches sit with sugar to release their natural juices, which concentrates their flavor.
- Use your fingers to mix the crumb topping for the best texture and to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Place a baking sheet under the pie to catch any drips and prevent oven mess.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes to let the filling set properly.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
