Best Peach Pie

Print Recipe

A classic peach pie that’s perfect for summer gatherings, featuring a flaky crust and juicy peach filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 discs pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 lbs (900 g) fresh yellow peaches, cubed
  • 2 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 3/4 cups (150 g) white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp (50 g) tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp smoked or regular paprika (or 1 tsp cinnamon)
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) unsalted butter (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp (10 g) white granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp (15 ml) milk (beaten together, for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Start by making the pie crust using my Homemade Pie Crust recipe or your favorite pie crust recipe. You can prepare this step a day or two in advance if you prefer to save some time later.
  2. Peel the peaches and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, prepare the peach filling. Add the cubed peaches, lemon juice, sugar, tapioca starch, vanilla extract, and smoked or regular paprika (or cinnamon). Stir until well combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Prepare the pie. Roll out one disc of pie dough into a 12-inch circle, place it in a pie dish, and pour the peach filling inside.
  6. Remove the second disc of pie dough from the refrigerator and roll it into another 12-inch circle. Cut out strips for the lattice top and weave them over the filling.
  7. Make the egg wash by beating the egg yolk with milk. Brush this mixture over the lattice crust and sprinkle with sugar. Add small cubes of butter on top of the filling.
  8. Bake your pie on the middle rack for 40-50 minutes or until the filling bubbles. Let it cool to room temperature for 2-3 hours.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze for later.
