What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Peaches- It is best to use yellow peaches for this peach pie recipe as they have a balanced flavor.
- Lemon juice- Fresh lemon juice adds a citrusy flavor to the filling.
- Cornstarch- Cornstarch is added to thicken the peach filling and prevent it from being runny.
- Pie dough- You can use homemade or store-bought pie crust for this recipe.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Substitute the cornstarch- If you don’t have cornstarch, you can use tapioca starch, arrowroot starch, or potato starch. Alternatively, you can make a slurry with flour.
- Change up the topping- Instead of a lattice top, you can use a regular top crust that fully covers the pie. Remember to create vent holes for steam. Alternatively, you can use a crumble topping made with all-purpose flour, sugar, and butter.
- Substitute the fresh peaches- If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can use drained canned peaches or thawed and drained frozen peaches.
- Use a pre-made pie crust- If you’re short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own.
How to Make Peach Pie
- Whisk together the pie filling ingredients- Except for the peaches, combine the filling ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes.
- Prep the peaches- Slice the peaches into 1/4-inch thick slices and add them to the saucepan. Simmer the filling for a few more minutes, then allow it to cool.
- Prepare the pie crust- Roll out the pie crust dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin. Each circle of dough should be approximately 14 inches in diameter. Cut one circle into 12 even strips.
- Fill the pie- Place the uncut circle of dough in a 9-inch pie plate. Add the peach pie filling to the pie crust.
- Make the lattice top- Arrange 6 strips of dough vertically over the pie pan. Fold back the odd-numbered strips (1, 3, 5) and lay a horizontal strip. Return the odd-numbered strips to their original position and fold back the even-numbered strips (2, 4, 6) before placing another strip horizontally. Continue this pattern until all the strips are used.
- Trim the edges- Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to trim the edges of the pie for
