Dutch Peach Pie

I love the crumbly, granola-like crust of dutch apple pie, and since I have a ton of peaches, I thought that I would try out the recipe with peaches.  Firm, but chewy crust with a warm, gooey peach filling makes a delicious pie!

Original Recipe

Ingredients

Crust:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 
  
• Filling:
• 
  
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 cups peeled, diced tart apples
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine all crust ingredients; set aside 1 cup for topping. 

Press remaining crumb mixture into an ungreased 9 inch pie plate and set aside.

2. For the filling, combine sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and water in a saucepan until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. 

Remove from the heat; stir in peaches and vanilla. 

Pour into crust; top with reserved crumb mixture. 

Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Allow the pie to cool completely.
