Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the egg white until foamy.
- Brush the beaten egg white over the bottom and sides of the unbaked pie crust.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and white sugar.
- Cut in the chilled margarine until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Sprinkle two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pie crust.
- Layer the sliced peaches over the crumb layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the peaches.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the peaches are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg with the crumb mixture. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. Ensure your peaches are ripe for the best sweetness. If you prefer a thicker filling, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the peach layer to help absorb excess juices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie. You may need to bake it a little longer to ensure the filling is bubbly and cooked through.
What can I do if my pie crust gets too brown?
If the edges of your pie crust are browning too quickly, you can cover them with strips of aluminum foil halfway through baking. This will protect the crust while allowing the filling to cook thoroughly.
How can I tell when the pie is done?
The pie is done when the filling is bubbly and the peaches are tender. You can also check the crust for a golden-brown color. If you insert a knife into the filling, it should come out clean without any wet batter.
