Peach Pie is a luscious homemade dessert perfect for any time of the year! Buttery pie crust, a dash of cinnamon and a bit of sugar are all you need to turn juicy fresh peaches into a heavenly dessert.

When it comes to peach pie, peach crisp, or peach cobbler serve it with a generous helping of whipped cream or ice cream.

How to Make Peach Pie

It’s easy to put a peach pie together, once the fruit is peeled and prepped. To make this quick and easy, I peel the peaches.

  1. Mix peaches with other filling ingredients (per recipe below).
  2. Roll out pie crusts line the bottom of a pie plate. Fill with peaches.
  3. Top with second crust and pinch to seal the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to vent (or create a beautiful lattice top crust)!
  4. Brush with milk or egg and bake.

Tip: Bake on a foil or parchment lined cookie sheet until the filling is bubbling through the vents and the crust is browned. The sheet will catch any spills keeping your oven clean and making clean up a breeze!

Can I Use Frozen/Canned Peaches?

Fresh fruit makes the best peach pie but of course this delicate summertime treat is only available in season. But don’t despair! You can still enjoy peach pie year round by using frozen or canned peaches.

To Make Pie with Frozen Peaches

Defrost peaches before mixing with other filling ingredients. If using canned peaches drain them well.

How Many Peaches Make 1 Cup? Here’s a quick guide to help you plan for this recipe, and other peachy preparations you might encounter:

  • 2 medium peaches make approximately one cup sliced.
  • 10 ounces of frozen peaches equals one cup sliced.
  • 1 16-ounce can is equivalent to two cups of sliced peaches.

Crumb Topping: To Make a Crumb Topping use a single pie crust and combine the following. Sprinkle over the peach pie.

  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cold butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

How Long Will It Last?

Peach pie tastes best served fresh and is so darn delicious it probably won’t last long! Leftover pie can be covered and stored for about 2-4 days at room temperature, or in the refrigerator up to a week. If your fruit is very juicy, the bottom crust may get a bit soggy if kept too long (but will still taste great).

Notes

To peel peaches, cut a small "X" in the bottom of the skin. Place in boiling water for 20-30 seconds and then into ice water. The skins will peel right off.
If your crust starts to brown too much, lightly cover the pie with foil.

  1. Not sure I understand the Crumb Topping. Are you saying stir together the Pie Crust ingredients plus also add the extra ingredients you have listed on this site?? I’m not a Pie Maker, but have fresh peaches in the freezer from 2021, and want to make something good with them. This pie looks delicious makes me want to try it. Thanks!!!

    1. If using a crumb topping, you will use just a single pie crust for the bottom and the crumb topping for the top. I hope that helps, Barb!

    1. You could replace the cinnamon with nutmeg or ginger, and it would taste delicious! If you omit cinnamon altogether, it will still taste great Jackie. Enjoy!

    1. You sure can! Here the crumb topping I use (I’ve added it to the write up as well). Enjoy!

      To Make a Crumb Topping use a single pie crust and combine the following. Sprinkle over the peach pie.

      ⅔ cup flour
      ⅓ cup white sugar
      ⅓ cup brown sugar
      ⅓ cup cold butter
      1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
