Peach Pie Filling
- 3 cups peaches slices (4 - 5 fresh peaches)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon quick cook tapioca (or 6 tablespoon cornstarch)
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Peach Crumble Topping
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup melted butter
For the Peach Pie Filling
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Set a 2 ½ quart casserole dish out for filing with the peach crumble pie.
Slice or chunk the fresh peaches into a large mixing bowl. Leave some skin on some pieces, it adds to the flavor.
3 cups peaches slices
In a separate smaller bowl, mix the sugar and the quick cook tapioca (or cornstarch if you opt for that thickener), and the salt. Mix well.
1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoon quick cook tapioca, ¼ teaspoon salt
Mix the sugar mixture into the bowl with the peaches. Add the almond extract and mix well. Pour peach pie filling into the casserole dish.
½ teaspoon almond extract
For the Peach Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and salt. Mix well.
1 ¼ cup flour, ¾ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans, ¼ teaspoon salt
Add the melted butter and blend until the mixture is lumpy and crumbly.
½ cup melted butter
Crumble and scatter the lumpy, crumbly topping mixture over the top of the peach pie filling in the casserole dish until evenly distributed.
Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crumble topping is golden brown. Remove, cool, and serve!
- If you want to use cornstarch instead of quick cook tapioca, you will use twice as much: 1 ¼ teaspoon quick cook tapioca is equal to 2 ½ teaspoon cornstarch for each cup of fresh fruit.
- Be sure to place a rimmed pizza pan or cookie sheet on the rack below the baking peach pie crumble.
