I love recipe contests. After co-hosting a Dairy Month recipe contest, the Unique Sweets dessert contest, and all the cooking challenges and clubs I’m in, I don’t think that’s a secret at this point. So of course I had to through my hat into Ashton’s Lucky Leaf recipe contest.
I had so much fun working with Lucky Leaf back in June to make my Lemon Raspberry Mousse Pie in a Jar. I even happened to still have of their peach pie filling in the pantry. Winner winner chicken dinner! I grabbed that bad boy, found a kick butt recipe and got baking. There’s a stand mixer on the line people.
This buckle is light and fluffy and has a wonderfully caramelized flavor from the topping. The peaches are sweet and give a nice juicy bite to the buckle. And since dessert should be pretty, I covered to top with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. This buckle is the perfect treat year round. I’d even serve it for breakfast. It could totally be a breakfast cake.
You can enter the contest too! Link up you Lucky Leaf pie filling centric posts to the recipe contest by midnight Monday, August 26th. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter. If you don’t blog, just head over to My Recipe Magic, create an account (it’s free, fun, and I have an account too), and share your recipe with a picture there.

Recipe Notes
My topping does not look like a crumb mixture. I ran out of butter and had to sub Country Crock. My "topping" was really wet and sank into the buckle. Everything tasted great thought. So you you want/need to use a spread instead of butter it's not the end of the world.
