Description

This Fresh Peach Pie recipe offers a delightful and light way to enjoy ripe, juicy peaches in a simple yet delicious dessert. Featuring a baked pie crust filled with fresh peach slices coated in a luscious, homemade thickened sauce flavored with almond extract, this pie is perfect for warm weather and a refreshing treat topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 9 peaches)
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • Dash of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Crust

  • 1 9 inch baked pie shell

Topping

  • Whipped Cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peaches: Add peeled and chopped peaches to a bowl and sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice. Stir well to combine, then allow the mixture to rest for 30 minutes to an hour, stirring once or twice to let the flavors meld and the peaches release juice.
  2. Cook Peach Juice Sauce: Drain peach juice into a measuring cup until you have 1 cup. Pour juice into a saucepan and whisk in cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  3. Finish Sauce: Remove sauce from heat and stir in butter, a dash of salt, and almond extract to enhance flavor and add a subtle buttery richness.
  4. Combine Filling: Pour the thickened sauce over the peaches in a large mixing bowl and gently toss to coat all the fruit evenly.
  5. Assemble Pie: Pour the peach filling into the pre-baked 9-inch pie shell. Place a piece of plastic wrap gently over the top and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the pie to set.
  6. Serve: Serve chilled or slightly cool, topped with whipped cream if desired for an extra creamy touch.

Notes

  • Use fully ripe peaches for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Ensure pie shell is fully baked before filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Resting the peach mixture helps the flavors develop and juice to release.
  • The almond extract complements the peach flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
  • This pie is best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
