  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 4–5 ripe but firm fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Crust

  • 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out your pie crust and gently press it into your pie dish. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling to maintain flakiness and crispness.
  2. Slice and Arrange the Peaches: Peel, pit, and slice fresh peaches into even pieces. Arrange them in overlapping circles on the chilled crust for a visually pleasing layered effect.
  3. Make the Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in the flour or cornstarch thoroughly to help the custard set without lumps.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Dot the peach slices with small pieces of butter, then pour the custard mixture evenly over the fruit. Bake the pie in a moderate oven temperature until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center and the crust turns golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. This resting time is essential to let the custard firm up for clean slicing and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm, ripe peaches to avoid excess moisture that can sog the crust.
  • Blind bake the crust slightly before filling to prevent a soggy bottom.
  • Do not overbake the custard; it should still jiggle slightly when removed as it will continue to set while cooling.
  • Allow the pie to rest completely after baking for the best texture and flavor.
  • Use fresh vanilla extract, cream, and peaches to elevate the flavor profile.
