  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of pie dough to a 14-inch diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch round pie plate and trim excess dough away from rim. Crimp dough to create an attractive crust along the edge of the pie plate. Place pie shell into the refrigerator until pie is assembled.

Add the ginger and lemon juice and toss lightly by hand. Sprinkle the dry mixture onto the peaches in two parts, tossing lightly after the addition of each.

This PEACH PIE WITH CRUBLE TOPPING is as easy to enjoy as it is to make!

Last thing, SHARE it with your friends on one or more of your favourite social media platforms using #weekendatthecottage when you do.

This PEACH PIE WITH CRUMBLE TOPPING will always hold a special place in my heart for two reasons: it’s just so darn delicious and, believe it or not, it almost didn’t get made.

Return visitors might remember that I’m in possession of my mom’s recipe box. It contains a number of really fabulous recipes, many of which I remember enjoying when I was a kid. Love her NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE, her easy WILD BLUEBERRY CAKE, plus her superior PIE DOUGH recipe. All these recipes remind me of just how good a baker my mom truly was!

About a month ago, I pulled out mom’s recipe box to reference something and there, and in and amongst some scraps of paper were two recipes I’d never really noticed.

The first, scribbled on a cash register receipt, looked like some sort of peach pie recipe. The second card, I think written in my Aunt Alexandra’s hand and also open to interpretation, is a topping for apples or peaches.

Well, I figured it was about time this recipe finally got made. Truth be told, I had no idea it would be so amazing. Thankfully, the recipe that almost didn’t get made will now become a new, family favourite.

Here are just a few things to keep in mind when you go to make it:

PIE DOUGH

Head HERE to reference my mom’s wonderful pie dough recipe. Head HERE to watch our 1-minute video tutorial on how to make it. Remember, making a pie from scratch gets easier with each one you make; practice makes perfect.

This recipe calls for one disc of dough and if you make the recipe on the YouTube video, you’ll have two. Simply freeze that second disc of dough, saving it for another time.

PEACHES

We suggest using ripe peaches that are still slightly firm to the touch. There’s no need to peel the peaches as the skins add both flavour and colour to the rich filling. When preparing the pie, try to time it so you mix the filling and transfer it immediately to the shell. The peaches will release too much liquid if you wait too long and you’ll end up with a soupy pie.

Ingredients for the crumble topping

TOPPING

I made a few changes to the topping recipe and am glad I did. Adding a smidge of ground ginger gives the topping an extra bit of heat, while the addition of the chopped pecans makes it nutty, rich and flavourful. I gotta say, everyone who’s enjoyed this pie so far all comment on the fabulous flavour of the topping.

BAKING

Because every oven is different, you may need to adjust the bake time listed in this recipe. Having made this pie a few times now, we’re confident the 20 minutes at 425°F followed by 45 minutes at 375°F should do the trick. Ultimately you’ll be looking for a pie where the filling is bubbling up through the topping, the crust is lightly browned and the topping is golden.

SERVING

Be patient! Give your pie at least two hours to cool before you slice and serve it with vanilla ice cream and a garnish of peach slices and a pecan half.
