Heavenly Homemade Peach Pie

Healthy Fact of the Day

The peach tree is a member of the rose family, along with almonds, plums, and apricots. For a crisp bottom crust, brush it with egg white before adding the filling.

Ingredients

 

For the crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

 

For the filling:

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces

 

For topping:

  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp coarse sugar

 

Instructions

  1. For the crust: Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough forms. Divide in half, shape into disks, wrap, and chill for 1 hour.

  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. For the filling: In a large bowl, gently mix peaches, sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla.

  4. Roll out one disk of dough and place in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the filling and dot with butter pieces.

  5. Roll out the second disk and place over the filling.

  6. Trim edges and crimp to seal. Cut a few slits for venting.

  7. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

  8. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.

  9. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Slice into this golden, fragrant peach pie and let the sweet, juicy filling transport you to a sunny orchard on a perfect summer day. Each forkful is a perfect balance of tender fruit, warm spices, and flaky crust that’ll have you closing your eyes in pure dessert bliss. Whether served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoyed as is, this homemade peach pie is sure to become a treasured family favorite!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
