Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Yes, frozen peaches can be used in place of fresh ones. Just make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using, as they can release more moisture during baking.

How can I tell when the pie is done baking?

The pie is done when the crust is golden brown, and you can see the peach filling bubbling through the vents. The skin of the crust should not look wet or soggy.

Can I make this pie in advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day ahead and refrigerate it. This allows the flavors to meld together nicely. Just keep it covered loosely.

How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?

To prevent a soggy crust, ensure you use the right amount of cornstarch or tapioca starch in the filling, as it helps absorb excess moisture from the peaches.

What can I serve with Fresh Peach Pie?

Fresh Peach Pie pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a dollop of yogurt for a tangy contrast. You can also serve it with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). If desired, peel the peaches for a smoother texture, then slice them and place them in a large bowl.
Add the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the sliced peaches and mix gently until the peaches are well coated.
Roll out one crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the peach mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover with the second crust, venting or creating a lattice design. Brush the top crust with an egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425°F. Then reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 35 to 45 minutes until the filling bubbles up.
Let the pie cool for 2 to 3 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Notes

For a unique twist, mix in raspberries or blueberries. Always use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
