Peach Pie
My mom's Peach Pie is stuffed with sweet, juicy peaches that are perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Topped with a flaky, golden brown lattice crust, it's the best peach pie recipe!
Ingredients
- 5 cups peeled & sliced fresh peaches
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar plus more for the lattice crust
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3½ tablespoons instant tapioca divided
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- milk for washing lattice crust
- pastry for 9″ two-crust pie
Instructions
- Roll out bottom crust and sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon tapioca on bottom of crust.
- Place sliced peaches in large bowl. Stir in lemon juice, sugar, flour, the remaining 3 tablespoons tapioca, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add peach mixture to the bottom pie crust. Dot with the butter.
- Roll out top crust and cut into strips. Top peaches with lattice crust, weaving the pastry strips as needed. Brush lattice lightly with milk and then sprinkle with additional sugar.
- Bake at 375° F for about 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling a bit. Remove to a baking rack to cool completely and let the filling set. (Although I can't resist cutting a slice while the pie is still just a bit warm!)
Notes
This pie will always have the best overall texture and flavor on the day it's made. If you want to make it in advance, I do not recommend making this pie more than one day prior. Baking the night before can work well.
How to store and freeze:
- Store any leftover peach pie either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two days. It's best to cover the pie - an overturned bowl works in a pinch. After that, the crust can get mushy.
- Freeze leftover pie for up to 3 months. Once it has cooled completely, place it uncovered in the freezer until it's frozen through. Then wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and then foil, and place back in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge, then bring to room temperature on the counter before serving. If you'd like to warm it up, place foil over the pie (so the crust doesn't get too dark) and reheat at 375° F until warm.
