Martha is one of my most favorite pie baker. I get the feeling she loves her pies and really knows what it takes to make a fabulous one.
This is one of Martha’s Peach Crumble Pie recipes that I modified to make it better, or in another thinking, I changed it to my liking hopefully better. The recipe is below the video.
