Homemade Peach Pie
This delightful homemade peach pie is a celebration of summer's bounty, filled with juicy, ripe peaches and nestled in a flaky, buttery crust. The sweet aroma of cinnamon and vanilla wafts through the air as it bakes, creating a comforting dessert that is perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in. Historically, peach pie has roots in American cuisine where it was often made to showcase the seasonal fruits harvested from local orchards.
Ingredients
- Pie crust
- 2 (9-inch) crusts
- Fresh peaches
- 6 cups, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons (for topping)
- All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the peaches are well coated.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough, then crimp the edges to seal the pie.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, creating a beautiful design.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden color when baked.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top crust for a delightful crunch.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
- If fresh peaches are out of season, you can substitute with frozen peaches, just make sure to thaw and drain them before using.
