How to Make the Recipe

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).

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.

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.

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.

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 absolutely perfect:

  • Don’t overmix the peach filling; it can make the filling too juicy.
  • Use high-quality spices for the best flavor.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving for clean slices.

How to Serve

There’s nothing quite like a slice of warm peach pie served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you could even drizzle it with a little caramel sauce! For a refreshing contrast, try pairing it with a glass of Blue Razz Ice Juice.

Make Ahead and Storage

You can prepare the pie up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake it. Once baked, the pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the pie for up to 3 months.

And there you have it, my friends! A simple yet stunning peach pie recipe that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Don’t forget to check out some of my other favorite recipes, like How to Make Tender Coconut Cake and Stunning Harry Potter Cake Decorations. Happy baking!
