Peach Macaroon Pie
A delightful peach macaroon pie featuring fresh peaches and a sweet almond flavor, perfect for summer desserts or a fruit-filled treat for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Fill a 9-inch unbaked pie shell half full with sliced peaches.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and almond extract.
- Pour the mixture over the peaches in the pie shell.
- Bake in a 350° F oven until golden brown, about 50 to 60 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using almond flour instead of regular flour, which will enhance the almond flavor. If fresh peaches are out of season, frozen peaches can be a great substitute; just ensure they're thoroughly thawed and drained. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. This pie pairs beautifully with American recipes like Strawberry Ice(Fat-Free).
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach macaroon pie warm or at room temperature. It's delightful on its own or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a refreshing twist, pair it with a light salad or a scoop of sorbet, making it a perfect end to a summer meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Peach Macaroon Pie in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It can last up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm the whole pie in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture in the pie. This will help maintain the right texture and prevent the filling from becoming too soggy.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The filling should be set, and the edges may bubble slightly. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it before serving for the best flavor and texture. It also makes a great dessert for gatherings, as it can be served at room temperature.
