The Best Homemade Peach Pie In Less Than 30 Minutes

Peach Pie

There’s truly nothing better than a slice of warm peach pie…unless it’s that same slice of pie with some fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top! Peach season is in full swing here and we can’t get enough. If you are fortunate to live in an area where you can grow or buy fresh peaches, you know the difference between an orchard-grown peach and a store-bought peach. Fresh peaches are so juicy and sweet. There isn’t much in this world that tastes better. This recipe is our go-to because it is quick, easy, and uses a prepared crust. We love using our Perfect Pie Crust recipe, but this filling tastes amazing in a graham cracker crust as well. One of my very favorite pies and such an easy peach pie recipe.

The Best Peach Pie Filling

The best peach pie filling is one that is somewhat simple. It perfectly complements the taste of the delicious peaches without overpowering them. The peach is naturally fantastic—you really don’t need to add a massive list of ingredients to it. Every item in this filling is there because it highlights the star of the show.

Sugar – The sugar adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the pie. Not to much, but just enough to compliment the tart peaches. Cornstarch – Cornstarch acts as a thickening agent for the filling. It keeps the pie slices together when you are serving. Water – The water is for texture. You can use peach juice or orange juice instead if you are wanting more flavor. Butter – The butter gives the filling a richer flavor. You don’t want to skip it! Vanilla or Almond Extract – The extract you choose depends on preference! Either one is delicious.
