Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 recipe for pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
How to Make Peach Pie
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to develop.
- Roll out half of the pie crust on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Transfer it to the dish, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared crust and dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the second half of the pie crust and cut it into strips to create the lattice top. Weave the strips over the pie, trimming and tucking the edges under the bottom crust. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Brush the lattice crust with a bit of water or milk and sprinkle with sugar for a nice finish.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This will help the filling set.
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- If using store-bought pie crust, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight for easy handling.
- For added depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
- Make sure to let the pie cool completely before serving to ensure clean slices.
Easy Variations
- Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the peach filling for a berry twist.
- Replace half of the peaches with nectarines for a different flavor profile.
- Experiment with herbs like basil or mint for a refreshing touch.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Fresh whipped cream for a light and airy complement.
- A drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness.
