Kitchen Equipment
- PIE DISH: This recipe uses an 11 inch pie dish. You can use any size, but if its smaller, you may just need to bake the pie a little bit longer to make sure the pie crust is fully cooked!
- CAN OPENER: For opening the canned peaches cans!
- MIXING BOWLS: For separately mixing the dough and the peach pie filling.
- ROLLING PIN: For rolling out the pie crust.
- MEASURING SPOONS AND CUPS: For measuring the ingredients.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Pie crust: In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your hands to break apart the butter until a crumbly sandlike texture is formed. Add the cold water, and form the dough into a rough ball shape. Use a knife to split the dough in half, and form each dough section into a burger patty shape and size, and place them on a plate in the fridge.
Step 2 - Start your oven: Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Step 3 - Pie filling: In a separate bowl, combine and mix all the pie-filling ingredients and set it aside while you finish making the crust.
Step 4 - Roll the dough: Sprinkle flour over a flat kitchen surface and place one of the dough patties on it. Sprinkle a little more flour over the dough and the rolling pin. Roll the dough out into a circle thats about 14-15 inches and about a ¼ inch thick. Gently fold the dough in four quarters without pressing/sealing it, and transfer it to your ungreased pie dish. If there are any holes, pull off some access dough and fill in the gaps! Pour the pie filling into the pie dish.
Step 5 - Bake: Repeat step 4 for rolling out the final dough patty and lay it over the top of the pie, pinching the edges and poking holes or cutting a few slits into the top of the pie so it can breathe while it bakes. Brush the dough with the egg and bake the pie uncovered on the middle rack for 30-40 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Expert Tips
- Trim the edges. Once you’ve transferred the dough to your pie dish, you may have some excess dough along the edges. You can keep it for a thick crust, or you can trim it away. The easiest way to do this is to roll your rolling pin over the edges with some pressure, and it will peel right off.
- Poke holes in the pie. Before you bake the pie, use a fork to poke some holes in the top of the pie, or use a knife to make a few slits. This helps the pie breathe and cook evenly while it bakes.
- Bake time can vary. This recipe uses an 11-inch pie dish. If you use a smaller pie dish, you should bake the pie a bit longer, maybe 5-10 minutes. Just keep an eye on it!
- Let the pie rest. It’s hard to resist, but you should give the pie some time to rest before serving it. If you cut into it too soon, it may be runny, so give it at least 20 minutes before cutting into it!
Recipe FAQ’s
Use a thickener in the filling like cornstarch or flour and give the pie time to rest after baking.
The pie needs time to thicken, and giving it time to rest after its been baked will help.
The best thickener is flour or cornstarch. This recipe uses cornstarch, but if you prefer to use flour, use double the amount.
Once the pie has cooled to room temperature, wrap it in plastic wrap or tin foil and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Ingredient Alternatives
- Mango: Make a peach mango pie by adding some mangos to the mix! These fruits taste delicious baked together in a pie.
- Raspberries: Try adding some raspberries to the pie filling. The tart flavor of the raspberries combined with the sweet peaches make for a tasty combination!
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Ice cream with any warm pie is a must! Top your slice with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream for a cold contrast and silky bite.

I would love to try this recipe, but you're kind of evasive when it comes to the peach filling. Are they peaches packed in heavy syrup, or.......fruit juice? Do you drain them first or is the liquid they're packed in included in the filling recipe? You don't say either way, so I'm assuming you use liquid and all, right? I've never made a peach pie before, but I'd love to try this because it does seem easy! Thank you
Andrea says
Hi Fay! Sorry for the confusion, you can use canned peaches that are in either syrup or fruit juice. You don't need to drain the liquid, the liquid will be absorbed and thickened by the cornstarch and give the pie that ooey gooey texture that's super delicious in pies! Hope you try it out and would love to hear how it turns out 🙂 Hope this helps!
Fay Jackson says
Sorry to get in touch again Andrea, but in the info you wrote before the recipe, it said you needed a colander to drain and rinse the peaches. Yet above you said you don't need to drain them, the juice will get thickened from the cornstarch. So which way did you do it? ......drain them or not??
Andrea says
Hi Fay! No need to apologize at all! I'm so sorry for the confusion. You do not need to drain them! I've updated the recipe information so it should be more clear now. Sorry again and let me know if you have any other questions! Also let me know how it turns out 🙂
