Hi Bold Bakers! There is nothing in the world like a homemade peach pie. My Perfect Peach Pie recipe just explodes with that wonderful, summery peach flavor, without having that notoriously soggy crust. Already have an account? Summer peaches are super juicy, and the only clean way to eat them is over a kitchen sink — but that juiciness doesn’t lend itself to keeping your buttery crust intact. Using a few simple baking methods, and a few tricks I’ve picked up through my years as a professional baker, you’ll be able to bake a perfectly crispy crust for this classic summer pie. Picture this: it’s a late summer afternoon, and you’re sitting underneath the shade of a big tree, watching the day go by with a slice of this peach pie. Can’t you already taste it?! This is no dream — this pie is the real deal!
What Is Peach Pie?
Peach pie is a perfect way to use up those irresistible peaches while they’re still in season. In fact, on August 24th in the states, some people even celebrate Peach Pie Dy! (But, if you need a little summertime sunshine in the winter months, feel free to use frozen peaches!) We don’t always find the juiciest and ripest peaches at the grocery store, but peach pie is the perfect way to turn just okay peaches into something incredible. With a little sugar, a little lemon juice, and some vanilla, peaches can be transformed into something super addictive!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips for Making Peach Pie
Peaches, because they are so juicy, can be challenging to bake with, especially in a pie. Even if the first step seems like extra work, don’t skip it! Letting the peaches release their juice and boiling it down really makes all the difference! If you don’t want to cut squares for the top crust, just make sure you cut out generously sized vent holes to let the juice evaporate. Give your pie a little something extra by adding a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger or a pinch of ground nutmeg, tossed into your filling. Use my Homemade Pie Crust recipe!
How To Store Peach Pie
You can store any leftover peach pie at room temperature, loosely covered, for up to 2 days. You can freeze baked peach pie by wrapping it tightly with aluminum foil and placed in a heavy-duty freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for 2 months.
