Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread the peach pie filling in a pastry-lined 9-inch pie pan.
- Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, shortening, and butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the peach filling.

- Bake until hot and bubbly, removing the foil during the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter streusel, consider using coconut oil instead of shortening. If you're out of walnuts, pecans or almonds can provide a similar crunch. To enhance flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the peach filling. For a twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. This recipe can also be adapted using other fruit fillings, such as blueberries or apples, for different variations.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Peach Streusel Crunch Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. This dessert pairs beautifully with Mint Taffy and makes for a delightful end to a summer meal. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast. It also complements well with coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy. For best texture, enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
