Have you ever been through Clanton Alabama on Interstate 65? Did you notice the giant water tower at the Clanton Lay Dam exit, that just so happens to be shaped, and painted like a giant peach? Why would they do that, you ask? Because, Georgia isn't the only place known for it's peaches! Chilton County peaches are divine! They are juicy, sweet, and down right, almost perfect.
We were lucky to get our hands on some from a friend of Zack's at work. Zack ask me if I wanted some and I said, "of course!" I had a few things in mind that I wanted to do with them. Peach ice cream was one thing, and this peach crumble is the other.
I love pie, any and all kinds! But unless you cheat with a store bought crust, I sometimes want short and sweet and this is just that. This crumble is just like a pie, without the shell, but with a big bonus of a sugar cookie like topping! I know, right?! This features the same topping that we use on our Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble and it's perfect.
Aren't those peaches beautiful!? Of course you should buy extra peaches, because you know your going to want to eat one, or three while waiting on your crumble to bake.

Thanks for the heads up about the other giant peach in SC! My best friend lives there, I'll have to ask her if she's seen it. And I'll look for it the next time I'm up that way! 🙂

This looks divine! I absolutely love peaches and crumbles are much more enjoyable for me to create than pie. I hate making pie crust. We'll have to try this once I can get my hands on some fresh peaches. Yum!
