Ingredients Substitutions
- Brown Sugar: You can substitute dark brown sugar for the brown sugar. Using dark brown sugar will simply bring a stronger molasses flavor to the pie.

Step by Step Instructions, It’s Easy
Before starting the recipe, open the canned peaches and empty them into a colander. Let the drain well before proceeding.
- Step 1: Lay rolled out pie crust over a 9″ pie dish. Lifting the sides of the crust, as you gently press it into the pan. Using a knife, trim the edges of the crust, then crimp the edges to make a classic ruffled edge. Using the tines of a fork, poke holes over the bottom and sides of the pie crust. This is called docking and allows the crust to cook more evenly. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, toss together peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, vanilla and flour until combined.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and oats.
- Step 4: Using your hands, or a pastry cutter, work in the cold butter until large clumps form.
- Step 5: Transfer peach filling to pie shell, distributing peaches evenly over the crust.
- Step 6: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the top of the peaches. Bake at 375 degrees for about an hour or until topping is starting to turn golden brown.
FAQs
Swap out the all-purpose flour in the crumb topping and the pie filling for your preferred gluten free flour mix. And purchase or prepare a gluten free pie crust.
Yes. Let the pie cool completely, then wrap the entire pie, including the pie plate with plastic wrap. Then add a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to three months. To thaw, let the pie sit overnight in the refrigerator. Then let it come to room temperature to slice and serve. And if you’d like to heat it up a bit, heat oven to 270 degrees. Remove foil and plastic wrap and bake for about 20 minutes.
You may not have let the canned peaches drain thoroughly. Shake the colander a few times and let them sit for about 15 minutes to make sure all the liquid has drained off.
Yes. Just thaw them and drain them well. Any extra moisture may make the pie crust soggy and the filling thin.
Absolutely yes. Plan on about 3 medium peaches per 15-ounce can of peaches.
Tips For Success
- Make sure the canned peaches are very well drained. Any access liquid will cause the bottom of the pie crust to be soggy.
- Once you’ve placed the pie crust in the pie pan, docked the crust and formed the design around the edge of the crust, let the pie shell rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before adding filling. This will allow the pastry to firm up and resist soaking up any liquid before baking.
- When making the crumble topping, keep the cubed butter in the refrigerator to keep it cold. If the butter is too warm and soft, it will be difficult to create those “lumps” for the crumble topping.
- Bake this pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Some of the filling may seep out during baking. The sheet pan will catch any drippings and keep your oven clean.
