French Crunch Peach Pie
Ingredients:
– 6-7 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 pre-made pie crust
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place one pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the peaches are well coated.
3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out into an even layer.
4. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the peach filling, covering it completely.
6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. If the edges of the pie crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
8. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.
