Peach-Ginger Pie with Almond Crumble Topping
This pie was quite tasty and something I probably would never have tried to bake before. It began with one recipe of Flaky Pie Dough that was filled with a mixture of sliced peaches, crystallized ginger, brown sugar, flour, and cornstarch. Instead of topping the pie with another crust, this recipe called for an almond crumble topping (a delicious blend of butter, sugar, vanilla, almond extract, flour, and almond meal). The pie baked for 50 minutes in a 375-degre oven and emerged with a deep, crispy, golden topping. I really enjoyed the flavor combination of the sweet peaches and the slightly spicy ginger. The pie also had a great combination of textures—the tender peaches were a nice contrast to the crunchy crumble topping. I am glad I tried this new recipe, but I’m getting ready to move on from fruit pies!
