Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sour cream, sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl.
- Fill the unbaked pie shell with sliced peaches, arranging them to just about the top.
- Pour the sour cream mixture over the peaches in the pie shell.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture to taste.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until it bubbles, approximately 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the sour cream come to room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the peaches with other fruits like nectarines or plums if desired. If you're short on time, consider using a pre-made pie crust. For added flavor, a hint of vanilla extract or nutmeg can enhance the sour cream mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a sweet dessert wine. For a more rustic touch, consider serving it alongside a scoop of Do Ahead Mashed Potatoes for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. It will keep well for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the crust soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using them in the pie to avoid a soggy crust.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the sour cream mixture is bubbly and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on the edges to prevent over-browning.
What can I do if I don't have sour cream?
If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can substitute it with plain Greek yogurt or a mixture of cream cheese and milk. Both options will provide a similar creamy texture and tangy flavor.
