How to Make It

Here’s how you can create this delightful Peach Crumble Pe in a few easy steps.

Prepare the Pie Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, trimming any excess edges. Poke holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling and set aside.

Make the Pie Filling

In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and tapioca. Gently mix until the peaches are well-coated and the sugar begins to dissolve.

Prepare the Crumble Topping

In another bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in vanilla extract until just combined.

Assemble and Bake

Layer the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, then sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, it freezes well for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
