Creamed Peach Pie
A luscious creamed peach pie featuring sweet, tender peaches topped with a creamy, buttery filling, perfect for summer gatherings or family dessert favorites.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together sugar, oleo, and flour with a mixer until creamy.
- Add egg, vanilla, and salt to the mixture and blend well.
- Pour the mixture over about one quart of sliced and drained peaches placed in an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake the pie at 350°F for about 1 hour until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white. If you’re short on oleo, unsalted butter works as a great substitute. Ensure the peaches are well-drained to avoid a soggy crust. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture for an extra layer of flavor. This pie pairs beautifully with Robbins Oatmeal Molasses Cookies for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the creamed peach pie warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. For a unique twist, try serving it alongside a refreshing salad like Macaroni-Potato Salad to balance the sweetness of the pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crispness of the crust while warming the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the pie. This will help maintain the pie's texture and prevent a soggy crust.
What can I do if my pie crust is too soft?
If your pie crust is too soft to hold the filling, try refrigerating it for about 30 minutes before adding the filling. This will help it firm up and better support the creamy peach mixture. Alternatively, you can pre-bake the crust for a few minutes to set it.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when it turns golden brown on top and the filling is bubbly. You can also insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-baking.
