    This peach crumble with butter pecan topping is sweet Southern deliciousness in a cast iron skillet.

    I’m going to be honest, y’all. My editorial calendar that shows what I’m going to be publishing today says, “peach pie.” I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there is no peach pie. There is a peach crumble. That is because, try as I might, I am just not a baker. I tried to make a peach pie… I really did. I even went simple with it and used store-bought pie crust dough, but it just didn’t happen!

    My peach pie was so beautiful when I took it out of the oven, but then when I tried to cut out a beautiful slice to take photos I realize something- This is not a pie.

    There was just no way that “slice” was coming out in the form of a beautiful piece of pie. It was going to be a mess. But then, I stuck a fork in it and took a bite. Y’all, it was so good, I just couldn’t abandon the recipe. So instead I went with a… reimagination.

    I mean, really. How could it not be good with classic heart of the south ingredients like peaches and pecans? Read about more southern ingredients through the above link.

    Do you live for peaches, pecans, and cast iron skillets? You’re definitely our people.

    I stuck to the same recipe I used for my pie: The fresh peaches are the highlight of this peach crumble and the butter pecan topping is just divine. So I made those components again, but this time forgetting the crust and making the whole thing in my beloved 8 ” cast iron skillet. (If you don’t have one you can click here for a page of selections on Amazon).

    It’s as pretty as can be in the skillet, but don’t expect nice neat slices to come out of this bad boy. You’re going to get a scoop of warm, gooey deliciousness.  Top it off with some homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and you won’t care what it looks like- You’ll be too busy saying “Mmmmm…”

    Sometimes food (and life) works out that way. The plan you had to begin with doesn’t happen at all and you can be tempted to call your Mom and say, “OMG I screwed up so bad.” (Okay, I definitely did that)

    But with a little thinking outside the box, you can take the pieces of that mess and turn it into something that doesn’t look like what you envisioned, but is even better than you imagined.

    Now, on to the recipe! Don’t forget to take pictures of your peach crumble when you make it! Tag us on Instagram and Facebook so we can gush over yours like we did over ours.

    After you’ve made crumble if you still have peaches leftover how about Caramelized Peaches? They’re also made in a skillet and make the perfect topping for french toast or pound cake.

    For a few totally unique recipes you’ll want to check out Peach Trifle, Peach Mango Pie and Chilled Peach Soup. These are not your run-of-the-mill peach dishes!

    Besides the iron skillet, you may need a pecan sheller. We own this very one and love it.

      Hi there, this looks delicious! My question is, if fresh peaches are not available, can canned or frozen be substituted? Thanks!

        Linda, I think they should be okay. You may want to raise the temperature about 25 degrees and cook a little less time, because canned peaches are already cooked. I think frozen peaches are still raw, so they might be your best bet.

      Too much sugar, I would cut amounts of sugar in half. Also I added some cinnamon to the peaches.
