i made a big mess. next time will use a bigger pie plate or a 9" round cake pan. once the apples were prepped it came together really quickly. this is my first attempt at apple crumble. i didn't realize most don't have a bottom crust like i remember from when i was a kid. i messed up and added cinnamon to the crumble topping and forgot to prick the pastry. at 20 min it wasn't cooked at all. gave it another 20 and the apples were still raw. turned the heat up to 375 and cooked another 50 min before i declared it done. also had to put a cookie sheet underneath to catch spills. i would image peaches would cook much faster. really tasty and easy but use a bigger pan and apples don't cook in 25 min, try at least an hour to an hour and a half

Very easy to make and tastes great - i used tinned peaches for a variation.
