Peach Pie with Almond Crumble
c/o Love Grows Wild

Ingredients

• Pie:
• 1 refrigerated pie crust (I use Pillsbury)
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 
  Crumble:
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• ¼ cup almonds, whole

Directions

1. For the Pie: Place peach slices in a large bowl and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gently stir until peaches are evenly coated and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Drain any juices that have collected and toss peach slices with lemon juice. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ⅔ cup sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add peach slices and stir until evenly coated in the sugar mixture.
2. Heat oven to 400ºF. Line a pie pan with the refrigerated pie crust and flute edges, if desired. Spoon peaches into the pastry-lined pie pan and add the crumble topping over the peaches. (see crumble instructions below)
3. Loosely tent pie with foil and bake on the middle oven rack for 45 minutes, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes. Cool pie on a wire rack at least 2 hours before serving.
4. For the Crumble: Add flour and salt to a food processor and pulse until combined. Add brown sugar, butter, and almonds and process again until well combined. Sprinkle almond crumble over the peaches before baking.
