Peach Season Means Southern Peach Pie

peach pieFull Recipe
Ingredients:

  • Fresh ripe peaches: 6 cups, peeled and sliced
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup
  • Brown sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Cornstarch: 3 tablespoons
  • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons, cut into small pieces
  • Refrigerated pie crusts: 2 (for top and bottom)
  • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar: As needed (for sprinkling on crust)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pie Crusts:


Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the refrigerated pie crusts out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature to make them easier to handle.

  1. Make the Peach Filling:


In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the peaches are well coated and the mixture becomes juicy.

  1. Assemble the Pie:


Unroll one pie crust and gently roll it out to fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer the peach filling into the crust and dot the top with butter pieces. Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal.

  1. Add Finishing Touches:


Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

  1. Bake the Pie:


Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

  1. Cool Before Serving:


Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the slices hold their shape when cut.
Enjoy your homemade Southern Peach Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
