Ever notice how the scent of warm peaches rolls through the house before you even open the oven door? That’s peach pie magic. This peach pie recipe is blowing up all over TikTok and Pinterest—sweet, juicy, and shockingly simple. Beginner friendly, flaky, and done in about an hour. No stress, just pie joy.

It’s a cozy peach pie hug in a dish. Just peaches, brown sugar, and buttery pie crust. Stuff you probably already have tucked in the pantry. Like your grandma’s version—if she had a Pinterest board. But with that same old-school charm. Full details in the blog!

We first made this one in a tiny California kitchen with sunlight flooding the counter. It’s been in our family apron pocket ever since. I tweak it each season, but the bones stay simple. No fancy tools. I did test a cheeky crumble topping though—you’ll love the secret!

Why You’ll Love This Peach Pie Recipe

This peach pie is pure pie joy, and here’s why: it’s easy, reliable, and filled with the sweetest juicy peaches that practically melt into the flaky crust. Whether you’re a pie pro or a “store-bought crust is fine” kind of baker, this recipe’s got you covered. Oh, and can we talk about the cinnamon and nutmeg? It’s like a warm hug baked right into the filling. 🥧

Pro Tip: The egg white brushed onto the crust gives this pie that golden, bakery-worthy shine. Feels fancy, but it’s as simple as whisking and brushing. Bonus points if you sprinkle sugar on top for that crispy sparkle. ✨

Ingredients and Tools Breakdown

This is a no-fuss, pantry-friendly recipe with a few star ingredients. You’ll need 5 cups of juicy peaches, sugar (both white and raw), lime juice, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of butter for extra buttery magic. 😍

As for tools, grab a 9-inch pie dish, a rolling pin (or just a wine bottle—been there), and a pastry cutter if you’re feeling ambitious with homemade crust. Don’t forget a pastry brush for that shiny egg-wash moment—it makes all the difference!

Note: Using frozen peaches? Let them thaw completely and pat them dry to avoid extra moisture. Nobody likes a soggy bottom!

Step-by-Step Baking Guide

Step 1: Roll out your pie crust and gently press it into your pie dish. Brush it with beaten egg white and pop it in the fridge while you prep. This keeps the crust extra flaky. 🥶

Step 2: Toss sliced, peeled peaches with lime juice, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let this sit for 10 minutes so the flavors mingle—it’s like a quick peach party. 🎉

Step 3: Pour the peach filling into your crust, dot with butter, and cover with the top crust. Crimp the edges, cut a few slits (or get fancy with lattice!), and brush with more egg white. Sprinkle that sugar in the raw, then bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, before lowering to 350°F for 35–40 minutes until golden.

Creative Twists and Common FAQs

Add Some Spice: Try a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom if you’re feeling bold—it pairs beautifully with peaches. Or, swap out cinnamon for a little vanilla extract for a softer flavor twist. 😋

Crumble Topping: Wanna skip the top crust? Make a quick crumble by combining butter, sugar, and flour instead. It’s messy but oh-so-delicious! 🧈

Watery Filling? If you’re worried, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. It helps thicken the juices while keeping the filling luscious instead of runny.

Serving, Storing, and Reheating Tips

Serving: This peach pie pairs beautifully with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fluffy dollop of whipped cream. It’s cozy vibes on a plate! 🍑🍨

Storing: Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or foil and keep them at room temp for up to 2 days. For longer storage, pop it in the fridge—it’ll last up to 4 days.

Reheating: Warm slices in the oven at 325°F for about 10 minutes to revive that just-baked texture. Or if you’re impatient (hi, it’s me), the microwave works in a pinch. 🙃

🧠 Expert Insight: The Art of Perfect Peach Pie

Peach Pie balances sweetness and acidity, so selecting ripe but firm peaches is key to preventing a soggy crust. A touch of fresh lemon juice enhances flavor while stabilizing the filling. Slow baking allows the juices to thicken naturally, creating that classic, luscious texture every peach pie should have.
