A delicious Fresh Peach Pie recipe with a flaky crust and sweet peach filling.
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch or 4-5 tablespoons of AP flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter in small slices

- 1 teaspoon of water
- Raw sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Follow the instructions for the crust.
- In a large bowl, add peaches, lemon zest and juice, both sugars, all spices and vanilla, and cornstarch or flour and toss together until peaches are well coated. If the peaches are frozen, you might need a little bit more flour so the filling isn’t wet.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll out half of the pie dough and place the rest in the refrigerator. Add rolled out pie dough to the bottom of your pie plate.
- Fill pie dough with peach filling.
- Dot top of peach filling with butter.
- Roll out remaining dough and add to the top of the peach filling in a full sheet, in a lattice design or in another decorative design of your choosing.
- Brush top of pie crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and inside peach filling is bubbling.
Notes
- Adjust granulated sugar based on the sweetness of peaches.
- Adjust ground cinnamon based on your preference.
- If using frozen peaches, you might need more flour.
