A classic homemade peach pie with a flaky buttery crust and a juicy, lightly spiced peach filling. This comforting dessert highlights the natural sweetness of ripe peaches baked into a warm, syrupy filling perfect for summer gatherings or cozy family desserts.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice the peaches, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour or cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, optional nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
  4. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.
  6. Dot the top of the filling with small cubes of butter.
  7. Cover with the second pie crust, then seal and crimp the edges.
  8. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the crust with beaten egg if using for a golden finish.
  10. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  11. Allow the pie to cool for at least 1–2 hours before slicing so the filling can set properly.

Notes

  • Frozen or canned peaches can be used if fresh peaches are unavailable.
  • Blanch peaches briefly in hot water for easier peeling.
  • Blueberries or raspberries make delicious additions for a mixed fruit pie.
  • Almond extract adds a deeper flavor twist.
  • A crumble topping can replace the traditional top crust.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat slices in the oven to keep the crust flaky and crisp.
