Ingredients
Instructions
- Put sliced peaches in an unbaked pie shell.
- Mix butter, flour, sugar, and egg yolks or eggs to create the filling.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 60 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If peaches aren't in season, frozen sliced peaches can be a good alternative. You can also substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. To enhance the filling, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Make sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
Serving Suggestions
This peach pie is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Uncle Lee'S Corn Bread for a delightful meal. For a refreshing twist, serve alongside a berry salad or a scoop of sorbet to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pie should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the whole pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, this recipe is versatile! You can substitute the peaches with other fruits like berries, apples, or plums. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose. For example, tart cherries may require more sugar, while sweet strawberries might need less.
How do I prevent the pie crust from getting soggy?
To prevent a soggy crust, consider blind baking the pie shell for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. You can also sprinkle a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch on the bottom of the crust before adding peaches to absorb excess moisture.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Alternatively, you can bake it ahead of time, let it cool, and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to reheat it before serving for the best texture.
