Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this mouth-watering Fresh Peach Pie:
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or your favorite homemade pie crust)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your very own Fresh Peach Pie:
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the peaches well and set aside to let the juices blend.
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
- Pour the peach mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the filling with the small pieces of butter.
- Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or using a fork. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the surface of the crust with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden color once baked.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- After baking, let the pie cool on a wire rack for a few hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
And there you have it! A delectable Fresh Peach Pie that is sure to bring joy to any table. Serve it warm or chilled, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Enjoy your baking!
