The Best Homemade Peach Pie Recipe

 Homemade peach pie is something special. This peach pie is sweet, juicy, and delicious; your friends and family will love it.

My Aunt Mary Carol made the best peach pie that I've ever had. So, I thought I would give this a try.

The fresh peaches make all the difference; you'll want to find nice, ripe peaches, but not too soft.

I used Pillsbury double pie crust for this recipe. If you want to make your own, you can find my pie crust recipe here: Cast Iron Skillet Apple Pie.

Ingredients:

• 1 double pie crust
• 5 large ripe peaches, Peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 5 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 egg beaten
• More sugar for the top

Instructions:

1. Place all the cut-up peaches in a large bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon.
2. Mix with a spoon until everything is combined.
3. Set the peaches aside while you prepare the crust.
4. Lay out your bottom pie crust and slightly roll the edges all around so it is larger than 9 inches. Lay it in your pie plate so the crust hangs over the edge.
5. Add the peach mixture into the pie plate.
6. Roll out the top crust the same way and place it over the peaches. Form the crust all around the pie.
7. Brush the top with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with sugar.
8. Loosely cover the edges (crust) with tin foil.
9. Bake the pie at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
10. Let cool on a rack for 30 to 45 minutes before slicing.
11. Note: I always place a cookie sheet on the oven rack below the pie in case of any spills.

This homemade peach pie is the perfect way to enjoy one of summer's sweetest fruits. I don't believe it beat my aunt's peach pie, but it sure was close.
