Golden Peach Pie(Family Favorite!)
A delightful peach pie featuring sweet sliced cling peaches, aromatic nutmeg, orange peel, and a hint of lemon, perfect for family gatherings and summer dessert cravings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sliced peaches, sugar, nutmeg, grated orange peel, flour, salt, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Mix well to evenly coat the peaches with the flavorings.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared pie crust.
- Dot the filling with margarine.
- Bake in a preheated oven until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon along with the nutmeg. If fresh peaches are in season, you can use them instead of canned; just peel and slice about 6-8 ripe peaches. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. Ensure the pie crust is well-chilled for a flaky texture during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. This pie pairs beautifully with Nena Peggy's Cranberry Salad for a refreshing contrast. A cup of freshly brewed Ski Tea complements the dessert perfectly, enhancing the peach flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap or foil. It can be kept 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, restoring some crispiness to the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this pie?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches; just make sure they are thawed and drained well to avoid excess moisture in the filling. This will help maintain the pie's texture while still delivering that delicious peach flavor.
How can I prevent my pie crust from getting soggy?
To prevent a soggy crust, ensure you pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. You can also sprinkle a thin layer of flour or cornmeal on the bottom of the crust before adding the peach mixture to absorb excess juices.
What is the best way to serve peach pie?
Peach pie is best served slightly warm. Consider topping it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic touch. For a twist, serve it alongside a scoop of lemon sorbet for a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the pie.
