Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. Toss gently until evenly coated.
- Pre-bake the Pie Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pie crust in a dish, prick the bottom, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the peach mixture into the prebaked crust, spread evenly, and bake for 40-45 minutes until bubbling and slightly thickened.
- Make the Cream Topping: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Add vanilla for extra flavor. Chill until ready to serve.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cool the pie slightly, then top with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh peach slices or cinnamon if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for best flavor and sweetness.
- Substitute homemade crust for store-bought if preferred.
- Opt for gluten-free crusts and thickeners for gluten-free options.
- Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days; reheat or serve cold with extra whipped cream.
