Very Easiest - Peach Pie (Fresh)
A quick and easy peach pie featuring fresh peaches, a sweet cinnamon-sugar filling, and a buttery crust, perfect for summer dessert lovers and casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Sprinkle half of the mixture over the unbaked pie crust.
- Arrange the quartered peaches in a single layer over the mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the peaches.
- Dot the top with butter.
- Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour or until the juices thicken and the crust is light brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter pie, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the peaches to enhance their flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture. Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for an added kick. If you're short on flour, a cornstarch substitute works well to thicken the juices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach pie warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with other summer desserts, such as No-Flour Peanut Butter Cookies, for a varied dessert table. Enjoy it as a delightful end to a summer meal or at a picnic.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach pie in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. It will keep well for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. This helps to refresh the crust and warm the filling without making it soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before using to avoid excess liquid in the pie. This will help maintain the pie’s texture and prevent it from becoming soggy.
What can I do if my pie crust gets too brown?
If your pie crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil to shield them from direct heat while the pie continues to bake. This will help ensure a perfectly baked crust without burning.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
Look for a golden-brown crust and bubbling juices around the edges. The filling should be thickened, and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean. If unsure, bake a little longer, checking every 5 minutes.
