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.

Thanks so much. I'm so with you on any kind of crumble, I just love them. I actually had already started making a peach crumble to use up some ripe peaches when this idea occurred to me. You never know when inspiration is going to hit. I'm going to have to try this idea with other fruit fillings too. Happy baking!
