Easy Peach Pie is a simple yet delicious dessert featuring juicy peaches wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. It’s versatile, works with fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, and is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour or 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade, top and bottom)
  • 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, beaten with 1 tbsp water or milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain. If using canned peaches, drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), flour or cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir gently to coat.
  4. Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  5. Pour peach filling into crust and dot with butter pieces.
  6. Top with second crust. Seal and crimp edges. Cut slits for steam or make a lattice top.
  7. Brush top crust with egg wash.
  8. Bake 45–50 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool at least 1 hour before slicing to allow filling to set.

Notes

Drain peaches well if using frozen or canned to avoid a runny filling.For a crisp bottom crust, bake pie on a preheated baking sheet or brush the bottom crust with egg white before filling.Cool completely before slicing to prevent filling from spilling.Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
