Fresh Peach Pie Crumble Summertime Recipe

This peach pie crumble recipe is filled with fresh diced peaches and is topped with a delicious crispy crumble. No gooey thickeners needed.

Fruit pies are some of my favorite things to make with fresh summer fruit. I often make only a bottom crust. It's a little easier and I really love the flavor of a crumb topping like my mother's Dutch Apple Pie.

Technically this topping is more of a crisp topping because I have added oats to it. However, many people interchange these definitions so you can make it with or without the oats.

Peaches are some of my husband's favorites so I made this peach pie crumble to take to my sister's house for dinner and we saved a piece for his brother.

My brother-in-law is a diabetic. It's well controlled with insulin but he does enjoy a good dessert from time to time. I thought this pie may be ok because I used very little extra sugar in it.

Just a sprinkle on the peaches themselves.

And a little honey and brown sugar in the crumble topping.

So there's no gooey filling in this pie. Just the goodness of the fruit.

It does need to bake for quite a while so you may need to cover the edges part way through so it does not burn.

This is also a deep dish pie. Because I have this beautiful deep dish pie plate and why not make a deep dish pie. However, you can easily cut back on the crust, and use a little fewer peaches to make it in a standard pie plate.

Either way, I know you are going to love it!
