Description
Peach Pie is a classic homemade dessert that brings the sweet, juicy flavor of fresh peaches into a flaky, buttery crust. Perfect for family gatherings, holidays, or a comforting treat at home, this pie is simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Using fresh ingredients ensures a bright, natural flavor, while the combination of cinnamon and sugars adds warmth and depth to every bite.
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 recipe double pie crust
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss to coat.
- Roll out one pie crust into a 12-inch circle and line a 9-inch pie plate with it.
- Pour the peach mixture into the crust evenly.
- Roll the second crust into a 12-inch circle and place it over the peaches.
- Trim the edges to leave a ½-inch overhang, fold, and crimp edges as desired.
- Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape and brush with milk. Optionally, sprinkle with sugar.
- Place pie on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake at 450°F for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking 55-65 minutes until filling is hot and bubbly.
Notes
Serve the peach pie warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to four days. To maintain a crisp crust, reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. You can also freeze the pie before or after baking; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to three months.
