How to Make the Recipe
Let’s walk through the steps to make this mouthwatering peach pie:
Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust
Roll out one pie crust and gently place it into a pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Preheat your oven according to the temperature specified on the pie crust package (typically 375-400°F/190-200°C).
Step 2: Create the Peach Filling
Drain the canned sliced peaches thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg to the peaches. Gently toss the mixture until the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and spices. If desired, add a tablespoon of lemon juice for brightness. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust. Evenly distribute the melted butter over the filling. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp the top and bottom crusts together to seal the pie. Create several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This cooling time allows the filling to set properly for clean slices.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to ensure your peach pie turns out perfectly:
- Use high-quality canned peaches for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix the peach filling to keep the peaches tender.
- Brush the crust with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.
How to Serve
There are so many ways to enjoy this delicious peach pie:
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Top with whipped cream for an extra-special treat
- Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast
