There is nothing quite like the smell of a peach pie baking in the oven on a warm summer afternoon. It is the perfect way to use up a basket of ripe peaches from the market or your own backyard tree.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the crust stays perfectly golden and crisp while the fruit filling stays tender. Make sure to use peaches that are just ripe enough to be sweet but still firm so they do not fall apart in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter for dotting

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl, then cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide it into two discs, wrap them in plastic, and chill in the fridge for an hour.

  3. 3

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon until well coated.

  5. 5

    Roll out one disc of dough and place it into a 9 inch pie plate.

  6. 6

    Pour the peach mixture into the crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.

  7. 7

    Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the peaches, trimming the edges and crimping them to seal the pie.

  8. 8

    Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while it bakes.

  9. 9

    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling thick.

  10. 10

    Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing so the filling sets properly.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic treat. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, but it is best enjoyed within the first twenty four hours.
