A delightful peach pie featuring fresh peaches, warm cinnamon, and a creamy filling, baked until golden. Perfect for summer gatherings or cozy afternoons, this dessert combines sweet, fruity flavors with a comforting crust, appealing to fruit lovers and those seeking a simple yet flavorful treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and halve the fresh peaches.
- Lay the peach halves face down in the unbaked pie shell.
- Mix coffee cream, sugar, cinnamon, and flour together to make the filling.
- Pour the mixture over the peaches in the pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 45 minutes until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen peaches can be substituted; just thaw and drain excess liquid. To enhance the filling, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a bit of almond extract. If you prefer a thicker filling, increase the flour slightly. This pie can also be made with other fruits, allowing you to create variations like a mixed berry pie or peach-raspberry combination.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Favorite Peach Pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with American recipes like grilled meats or a fresh salad for a summer gathering. Consider serving it alongside a glass of sweet tea or lemonade for a refreshing touch.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to three days. For reheating, slice individual pieces and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 20-30 seconds until heated through. This will help maintain the crust's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but make sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie. Consider reducing the added sugar as canned peaches can be sweetened. Fresh peaches generally provide better flavor and texture, but canned can work in a pinch.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You can also insert a toothpick into the filling; it should come out clean or with only a few sticky bits of peach. Keep an eye on it during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
Can I freeze this peach pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie before baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to bake, you can cook it from frozen; just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time. For best results, consume within three months.
