It's Time for Peach Pie! (ingredients, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg)

[Lodestar]

I've been using this recipe with the "secret ingredients" for years and it's a little different than your usual cinnamon flavored peach pie. Can't remember where I got it so I looked on line to see if anyone else used it and I see it has currently come from the magazine "Taste of Home."


The woman who sent it in says that she won, not only a blue ribbon, at the country fair with it but also a purple ribbon for Best in Class. That doesn't surprise me as I think it's something a little special.


Yes, my lattice is flawed. I tried a new recipe for crust and in our warm and humid weather yesterday it rapidly became difficult to work with so I cheated a bit. I was fit to be tied by the time I was done.


Peach Pie


5C. peeled and sliced peaches
1C. sugar (I used a bit less.)
2t. lemon juice
1/2 T. orange zest
1/8t. almond extract (I use a little more.)
1/4t. nutmeg
1pinch of salt
1/4C. cornstarch. (The peaches were very juicy and this was a little runny. Usually I use a combination of tapioca starch and cornstarch. I think that sets up better.)


Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes with foil around the edges. Then remove foil and bake 10-15 minutes longer. Cool well before slicing.


How do you make your peach pie?

Marvelous looking pie!

mmmmm LOVE peach pie!

Darn it, you made me salivate for peach pie but I don't have any peaches so I was forced to make some sugar-free black bean fudgy brownies instead. I hope you know that this is all your fault!

I also love fried peach pies, like they make at Peach Park off I-65.

Fried peach pies? Is that what they call "hand pies?" They sound handy.


They aren't part of the culinary experience up here in MN but I've thought about giving them a try.

I love peach pie. I make mine homemade too. Haven't made one in 2 years. Now I want some. Here's my recipe with one change:I use Pillsbury pie crust. Never made my own.


4 1/2 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter cut into small pieces.
1 egg lightly beaten with 2 Tbsp. heavy cream.
granulated sugar for sprinkling.


pre-heat oven to 425.
combine all ingredients in a bowl except for eggs and the sugar for sprinkling. I have never pre-baked a pie shell and then filled it. If you do this then by all means do so. fill the pie shell with the peach mixture and add butter pieces, then put the top crust on.Lattice looks nice. Brush with egg wash then sprinkle with sugar and bake on 425 degrees for 15 minutes. reduce heat to 350 and bake30 minutes longer.

lubby, that's a classic and simple enough to carry around in your head which is always a good recipe.


I think Pillsbury makes a good crust and have used it before. When you do the wash and sprinkle you get such a nice glaze on the crust.


I've never done a full top crust for peach pie and I don't know why. Have just always associated peach pie with lattice crust.

Me too. I don't like it soupy, so I prefer the thicker filling that a lattice top provides.

Looks great.
