Filling
Peaches – Sliced and peeled. Spices – Cinnamon and ground nutmeg. Sugar – We want white granulated sugar for a nice clean sweet flavor. Lemon juice – Just a tablespoon will prevent your peaches from oxidizing and browning before they find their way into the oven. Lemon juice will also add a bit of tartness. Flour – All purpose flour to ensure our sweet syrupy filling thickens properly. Salt – We need a little seasoning for our pie filling to ensure our dessert has lots of well balanced flavor. Egg – Beaten for egg wash.
How To Make Perfect Peach Pie
How Do I Avoid My Pie From Having A Soggy Bottom?
Here are some things you can do to avoid this.
Can I Use Canned or Frozen Peaches?
The answer is yes to both, fresh is best though. If you’re using frozen peaches, let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator then drain them and follow making the filling as instructed in the recipe.
Do I Have To Peel My Peaches For Pie?
You don’t have to, though usually peaches are peeled for making pies. However, if you leave the skin on, it will actually soften as during baking, so the peach filling will still be nice and tender. It’s totally up to you.
Some Tips
Leftover Pie
You can store this peach pie at room temperature for 2 days, just make sure to cover it with foil or plastic wrap. You can also refrigerate it and it will keep for 4 to 5 days. To freeze peach pie, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap and place in the freezer. It will last 6 to 8 months. Thaw out the peach pie in the fridge and then reheat it in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes or until warm.
