Delicious Homemade Peach Pie Recipe

It is peach season! That means it is time to make Peach Pie! This is the best peach pie recipe EVER!

If you need some peachy goodness and don’t have fresh peaches try this peach bread recipe. It has a surprise ingredient you can find all year long at the grocery store.

Peach Pie

My sister-in-law, Jenny, makes a fabulous peach pie. Her recipe is the best of both grandmothers. My grandmother’s secret was to sprinkle the top of the pie with cinnamon and sugar. Jenny’s grandmother had the perfect filling.

You will want to take the time to make the crust yourself. Really it doesn’t take that much extra time and you get a wonderfully flaky crust!

Grandmother’s Pie Crust Recipe

For 2 crust pie:

• 2 C. all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp. salt
• ¾ C. shortening
• 1/3 C. ice cold water

Sift flour and salt together.

Cut in shortening with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle water slowly into mixture.  I often use a food processor on pulse to do this.

Combine ingredients with hands; working quickly to form a ball.  Divide pie dough into 2 parts, trying not to handle it too much. If dough seems hard to work with you can wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour.

With floured hands, turn onto floured surface and roll into a circle, approximately 14-inch diameter.

Fold crust into ¼’s to easily transfer to pie pan. This makes the bottom crust.

Peach Pie INGREDIENTs

• cinnamon

How to Make Peach Pie

This recipe won’t disappoint! It is a great recipe!

Gather delicious juicy peaches.

Peel and thinly slice peaches.

In a large bowl toss peaches with vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour.

Pour into 9” pie shell.  Divide 2 Tbsp. butter into small pieces and place on top of filling.

Place top crust and place over the filling with a sharp knife cut decorative slits in the top of crust to release steam while baking.  Crimp edges.  Divide 2 Tbsp. butter into tiny bits (again) and place on the outside of the top crust, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

You could make a lattice crust top if you prefer.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes; then turn the oven down to 350 and bake for another 30 – 45 minutes until crust is golden brown. If you feel it is getting too brown before peaches are tender tent the pie with aluminum foil. Serve with vanilla ice cream. YUM!
