Upside Down Peach Crumble Pie

Upside Down Peach Crumble Pie. A peach crumble in pie form using the crumble mixture as a the crust. Delicious with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream as a terrific summertime dessert.

With some big, ripe, juicy summer peaches in hand, I set out innocently enough to make one of the desserts I look forward to every year when the summer peaches come into season; a delicious peach crumble.

Being a little enamoured of good pie lately, it was almost a fleeting thought to try to adapt the crumble into yet another pie recipe. My standard crumble recipe already contains more butter than most that I have encountered, so I thought that it could conceivably hold together well as a pie crust and I was right!

The crumb mixture is just simply pressed into the bottom and sides of a springform pan or even a deep dish pie plate, so there's not even the fuss of rolling out pastry crust; what could be easier? Even beginner bakers will have no trouble putting together this delicious twist on a summer classic.
