Peach Pie
As I was poking around the produce section of my favorite cooperative, I spied some gorgeous local peaches. Not only were they pretty, they gave off an amazingly wonderful sweet peachy aroma… I could not pass them up and so I gently place 3 pounds in my grocery basket. I knew exactly what I was going to do with them when I got home. I was going to make a Peach Pie!
See? These peaches were gorgeous! Makes one 9″ pie. Enjoy! Tessa
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds peaches (peeled, pitted and sliced)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 Tbs lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- milk
- 2 – 9″ unbaked pie crust pastries (I used store bought)
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Roll out your pastry and line the bottom of a pie plate. In a large bowl toss together the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, zest and cinnamon. Add peach mixture to pie crust. Add top crust. You can get all fancy and make a lattice crust like I did or just add a top crust with slits in it so the pie can vent while cooking. Crimp edges of the pie. (I used the backside of a fork to crimp the edges of the pie)
To make a lattice crust see this tutorial. I must point out that my pie crust did not turn out as pretty as the tutorial. Meh… Maybe next time…
Brush the top of pie crust with a bit of milk and bake 45-50 minutes or until the pie is golden brown. Remove pie from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve Peach Pie warm or cold. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is a perfect addition to a slice of this pie!
oh god, swoon! I love peach pie – it looks so good… I bet it’s amazing with fresh peaches!
Thank you Hannah!
What a lovely pie!

Thank you Uru! We are on the tail end of our peach season…
That pie indeed looks gorgeous, can I have a slice :)
Thank you Raymund! I do need to work on my crust skills though…
Peaches are still in season where I live and I just picked up a few pounds of local peaches, yes, the aroma is just amazing.
I look forward to seeing what you make with those local peaches!
And just look! We do have a lot in common.. peach pie!! What a pretty pie you’ve made!! I’m happy to be following you now:D
Hi Barbara! Thank you! I just checked out your gorgeous website and those peachy shrimp tacos. Delish! Thanks for stopping by!
Are you just trying to kill me here!?!!? :) You know I love peaches and I have to tell you that I’ll take pie over cake any day of the week, so a peach pie – right up there with a rhubarb pie as being the best dessert on the planet! Your pie is SO very gorgeous. I probably wouldn’t even cut it. I’d just take a fork and start eating. :)
Thank you MJ! What’s better than peach pie? Peach pie and really good vanilla ice cream ;)!
When I saw these gorgeous peaches on a photo and a baked pie I thought that I would cheat a little bit and use store bought pastry. But then I inspected your recipe and I saw that you also used store bought pastry which is great, because you can have such a wonderful sweet treat much faster and without all that fuss and mess. And I have to admit Tessa that this pie looks awesome :-D
Hi Joanna! Store bought pastry is not cheating… It’s a wise use of valuable time ;)
Ha ha ha, I’ll stick to your version then ;-)
I cannot just ignore peaches (or any other fruit for that matter) that gives off an inviting fragrance. You’ll be sure to see them in my basket! And what a lovely way to celebrate this lovely fruit – a peach pie.
Hi Weng! I need to make one more peach pie before the summer ends. Thanks for stopping by!
