How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your Peach Crumble Pe.

Make the Pie Crust

Roll out the pie crust into a pie dish and press it firmly against the sides. Trim any excess crust hanging over. If using a store-bought crust, follow package instructions for preparation.

Prepare the Pie Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and tapioca. Toss until the peaches are well coated. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to release some juices.

Make the Crumble Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously on top of the peaches. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Yes, for up to 3 months, wrap tightly.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
