How to Make Peach Crumble Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are well coated. Pour this mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt until crumbly.
4. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the peach filling in the pie crust.
5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
7. Serve warm with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are not in season, frozen peaches can work as a substitute but should be thawed and drained of excess moisture.
• Make sure to let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
• For an added twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the peach filling.

Easy Variations

• Swap out some of the peaches for other fruits like blueberries or blackberries for a mixed fruit crumble pie.
• Add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
• Experiment with different spices like cardamom or allspice in the filling for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream for a classic combination.
• A scoop of yogurt for a lighter option.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent touch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover Peach Crumble Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the entire pie in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.
