Description
This homemade peach pie recipe uses fresh peaches, a buttery crust, and just the right amount of cinnamon. Simple ingredients, rich flavor, and that old-fashioned comfort only pie can bring.
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh yellow peaches (peeled and chopped)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or 1/4 cup instant tapioca)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1–2 tsp fresh ginger (optional)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 2 discs of chilled pie dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lower rack.
2. Peel and chop peaches into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix peaches, sugar, flour or tapioca, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger.
4. Roll out one disc of dough to 12 inches and fit into a 9-inch pie dish.
5. Add peach filling and dot with butter.
6. Roll out second crust for lattice or full top. Seal edges.
7. Brush top crust with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar if desired.
8. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then lower to 375°F and bake 45–50 minutes more.
9. Cool completely on a rack for at least 4 hours before slicing.
Notes
Use firm, ripe peaches for the best texture.
Letting the pie cool fully is essential for clean slices.
You can freeze the fully baked pie for up to 3 months.
