Ingredients
Instructions
- Wrap each whole peach in squares of pie crust.
- Place the wrapped peaches on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 40 to 45 minutes.
- Serve warm with honey cream sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a perfect crust, ensure your pie crust is chilled before wrapping the peaches. You can substitute the butter with margarine for a dairy-free option. If peaches are not in season, consider using frozen peaches, thawed and drained. Adjust the honey according to sweetness preference; ripe peaches might require less. For an extra touch, sprinkle some cinnamon in the cream sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the whole peach pie warm, drizzled with the honey cream sauce for a delightful finish. This pie pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a more substantial meal, consider serving alongside a light salad. It also makes a great dessert after a hearty dinner or paired with a cup of coffee for brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover whole peach pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy. Serve with freshly whipped cream if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, you can experiment with other fruits like plums or apricots. Just ensure the fruits are similar in size and ripeness to peaches. Adjust the baking time slightly if using firmer fruits to ensure they soften adequately during baking.
What type of pie crust should I use?
You can use a store-bought pie crust for convenience or make your own using butter, flour, and water for a flaky texture. If you're short on time, a pre-made crust like Cool Rise Sweet Dough can save you some effort without compromising flavor.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie and store it unbaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. When ready to bake, remove it from the fridge while preheating the oven and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if it's cold.
