Peach Pie 🥧

There’s nothing quite like a homemade Peach Pie. With its flaky, buttery crust and sweet, juicy peach filling, it’s a dessert that feels like pure comfort. Whether you’re baking during peak peach season or craving a classic treat, this recipe delivers a perfectly balanced pie with rich flavor and beautiful presentation.

The lattice crust adds that traditional touch, letting the golden peaches peek through while baking into a bubbling, caramelized filling. It’s simple, nostalgic, and always a crowd favorite.

Why I Love This Recipe

What I love most about this Peach Pie is how it highlights the natural sweetness of the fruit. The filling is lightly thickened and not overly complicated, allowing the peaches to shine.

The combination of a crisp crust and warm, syrupy filling is hard to beat. Plus, making the lattice top gives the pie a bakery-style look that feels impressive but is surprisingly easy to achieve.

Ingredients

• Dough for 2 pie crusts
• 4 cups sliced peaches
• 1 cup sugar (+ 2 tablespoons for topping)
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Swaps and Notes

• Peaches: Fresh peaches are best, but frozen (thawed and drained) can be used.
• Sugar: Adjust slightly depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
• Flour: Helps thicken the filling into a perfect syrup.
• Butter: Adds richness and helps create a golden crust.

If you want extra flavor, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the filling beautifully.

How to Make Peach Pie

1. Preheat the oven: Set to 425°F.
2. Prepare the crusts: Place one crust into a pie dish and freeze briefly. Roll out the second crust and cut into 1-inch strips for the lattice top.
3. Make the filling: In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, and flour. Cook over low heat, stirring, until a thick syrup forms (about 10 minutes).
4. Cool slightly: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. Assemble the pie: Pour the peach filling into the chilled crust.
6. Add lattice top: Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling.
7. Finish: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
8. Bake: Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
9. Rest: Let the pie sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for Success

One key tip is to chill the bottom crust before adding the filling. This helps prevent a soggy base and keeps the crust flaky.

Cooking the filling beforehand ensures it thickens properly and prevents excess liquid from forming in the pie.

When creating the lattice, don’t worry about perfection—slight imperfections add a homemade charm.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

Peach Pie is best served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of warm pie and cold topping is classic and irresistible.
