Peach Pie with Almond-Pecan Streusel
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
- Pastry crust for 1 (9 inch) single-crust pie
- 5 cups peeled, sliced peaches (5 or 6 large peaches)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Dash of ground nutmeg
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped nuts (mixture of pecans and almonds)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9 inch pie plate with the pie crust.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg. Allow to stand 15 minutes.
- Lightly brush uncooked pie shell with a thin layer of egg white to moisture-proof the pie crust. Stir lemon juice and almond extract into peach mixture; spoon mixture into pie shell.
- Mix brown sugar with flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle mixture over peaches.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake for 35 minutes more. To prevent overbrowning of rim of crust, cover edges with strips of foil.
