Blackberry Peach Crumb Pie

Blackberry Peach Crumble Pie is simple to make and filled with summer’s fresh fruit! Top it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for the perfect summertime dessert.  I was inspired, once again, by An Italian in My Kitchen and her delicious Italian Fresh Peach Crumb Cake. And, since I had a bowl full of juicy peaches that needed to be used and also a huge bag of freshly picked blackberries from our local berry farm in the freezer I knew this was the recipe to make. The combination of the sweet juicy peaches along with the tart sweet blackberries seemed like the perfect combination. It turned out delicious, just ask my husband.

I had originally planned to make this in my springform pan, but it somehow went missing, and was nowhere to be found. I had a choice then of using a very shallow tart pan, or a deep dish pie pan. Seeing as I’d already sugared the fruit, and had far to much for the tart pan, the deep dish pie pan won out. I knew from this particular recipe, that switching pans from the original was not going to compromise the finished product.

A crumble pie is so easy to make. It’s much like a cobbler in the sense that the topping (and the bottom crust) is a crumble and not an actual pastry. Easy! And no finicky pastry crust to roll out.

Simply prep your fruit, make up a quick batch of crumble, press it into the pan, add fruit, add more crumble on top, and bake. That’s it! It was prepped and ready to go in the oven in about the time it took me to search for and “not find” my spring form pan.

Make up this delicious Blackberry Peach Crumble Pie for you next BBQ or potluck! Or better yet, make it for your family for no reason at all, that way you’ll have leftover and can enjoy a little slice for breakfast with your morning coffee! And while you’re enjoying you morning coffee and pie, make sure and head on over to An Italian in My Kitchen and browse around her site. And make sure and tell her I say “hi.”
