Bought some canned peaches the other day for god-knows-what reason. I really should bring a grocery list with me when I shop. I always end up throwing in all sorts of things I don’t really need. Anyways…

I originally wanted to make peach cobbler but didn’t have enough brown sugar, so I sort of merged the two recipes together. I guess this qualifies as a pie too since the crust is under the peaches. Pretty simple to make, didn’t take that long at all. The taste is quite wonderful,actually. I prefer to eat my desserts cold so I chilled mine for a bit longer, but feel free to eat this when its still warm with a generous amount of ice cream :)

Peaches:

400g of (canned) peaches + 50ml lemon juice + 70g sugar + 1 tsp ground cinnamon + 1 tsp ground nutmeg + 1 tsp cornflour + 100g butter

Slice the peaches

Juice the lemon

Take a deep skillet or saucepan and throw in the peaches

Add lemon juice

Add the butter

Add the spices to the sugar

And add that to the peaches (and the cornflour, which I didn’t take a photo of)

Let it simmer. Set aside

Crust:

198g all-purpose flour + 3 tablespoons sugar + 1tsp salt + 229 butter + 1 egg + 56ml cold water

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Work in the butter with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk the egg with the water.

Add in the water-egg mixture to the flour until it forms a dough. It shouldn’t be sticky. Shape into a ball and stick it in the freezer for 20-30 mins.

Take it out, roll out using a rolling pin

Butter your container. I’m using teacups here. Feel free to use ramekins, pie tin yadayadayada

Cover the inner surface with pastry

Bake in the oven for 15 mins at 180 degrees celsius. When it’s done, set aside to cool for 20 mins

Spoon in the peach mixture

Crumble:

30g rolled oats + 2 tablespoons butter + 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Melt butter and add brown sugar. Add to oats. Mix

Spoon on top of peaches. Bake for 10 mins

Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, heavy cream or any other cream you like

Enjoy! :)
