Is there anything better than a big slice of fruit pie in the summer? As far as I’m concerned, no. There is not. 😉 Well, there’s something about peaches that just screams summer. And as much as I love my other fruit pies, I figured it was about time I made a Peach Pie recipe! Now, this recipe is based on my Blueberry Pie Recipe which could not be more simple. It’s made up of a simple Homemade Pie Crust and a four-ingredient peach filling. Simply whip up the pie pastry, add in the filling, choose between a lattice or a full top crust, then bake! And that’s it!
Ingredients Needed:
Pie Crust: I make a double batch of my homemade pie crust for the top and bottom crust. You could also make a single crust and top with streusel like in this Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe. Flour: sprinkling flour over the bottom of the pie crust before adding the filling helps absorb moisture so you don’t end up with a soggy crust. Peaches: you can fresh or frozen peaches. Be sure they’re peeled and sliced! Keep in mind that frozen peaches will take longer to bake. Cornstarch: helps thicken the peach filling. Use a little more if you are using frozen peaches. Granulated Sugar: this peach pie is sweet but not excessively sweet. Since we love to top it with ice cream, that’s the way we prefer it! Try swapping for brown sugar for more of a caramel flavor. Ground Cinnamon: adds a touch of sweet spiciness. Egg and Water: an egg wash brushed over the top crust is what gives it that delicious golden-brown color.
How to Make Peach Pie
Tips and Notes for Peach Pie
If you’re using fresh peaches, look for peaches that are golden with reddish hints. You can also give them a sniff and a squeeze. Perfectly ripe peaches will have a sweet scent and a slight give. For the top crust, you can do a lattice crust or a full top crust. If you’re doing a full top crust, be sure to poke holes in the top so the steam has somewhere to escape! Use the egg wash. It’s not required but it does give the top crust of the pie that yummy golden-brown color. Bake at two temperatures. Baking first at a high temperature firms up the crust so it doesn’t get soggy during the longer cooking time. Cover with foil. During the second part of the baking time, be sure to cover the pie with foil so the crust doesn’t burn. Let it rest. Allow the pie to rest at room temperature or in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight before slicing for a cleaner cut.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve your Peach Pie on its own but it’s also delicious topped off with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or even a scoop of Coconut Cream Pie Ice Cream!
