A quick and delightful fruit pie featuring peaches or apples, woven with bread crust and sweetened with a buttery, sugary glaze—perfect for a comforting dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place sliced peaches or apples in a pie plate and sprinkle a little sugar over them to prevent browning.
- Cut each slice of bread into 4 or 5 strips and weave into a lattice crust over the fruit.
- Mix sugar, flour, melted butter, and beaten egg well to create the glaze.
- Brush the crust with the mixture to coat it evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar mixture. If you're out of bread, you can substitute with store-bought pie crust or even graham crackers for a different texture. Be sure to weave the bread strips tightly to prevent the filling from bubbling over. If using apples, tart varieties like Granny Smith work best.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of the pie warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Mamaw'S Buttermilk Salad for a refreshing side. This dish is perfect for potlucks or gatherings, as it is both comforting and easy to share.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain the crispness of the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches or apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy crust. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your frozen fruit.
What can I use instead of white loaf bread?
You can substitute with whole wheat bread for a nuttier flavor or gluten-free bread if needed. Just ensure the bread is sturdy enough to support the fruit filling.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning while the filling cooks through.
