Fresh Peach Pie
Our sweet Nana (my husband’s Grandmother)…passed away this April. It was pretty sudden and we miss her terribly. She was the best cook and was always making yummy food for her family. Every Sunday she would have a new treat waiting for us when we came to visit. There were so many recipes she was famous for. She also loved trying new recipes she would see on Instagram or Pinterest. She was not your typical Nana! She was so with it and up to date on all the things. She was also the most supportive Nana there ever was! She would come to all of our kids games and recitals. Cheering them on and happy to be there. She was simply the best. We love our Nana!

How to make a fresh peach pie:

- Layer the sliced peaches in the cooked pie shell and pour the glaze over the top. Chill in the fridge and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. It is also delicious by itself!
Should I use a homemade pie crust or a frozen one from the store?
-Totally up to you! I make a homemade one from our Nana’s cookbook and I listed it in the recipe. (it wasn’t that pretty, I need to work on my pie crust skills! haha but it tasted great :). You could make it simple by using a frozen pie crust from the store. Here is a great blog post on pie crust by A Bountiful Kitchen! I can’t wait to refer to this at Thanksgiving and get better at homemade pies 🙂

This pie is a must make during peach season. Fresh peaches are layered into a cooked pie shell, then you make a homemade peach glaze to pour over the top! Amazing! Our Nana made this for Papa every year!
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced (I used 6 smallish peaches)
- 1 cup mashed fresh peaches (I used 3 smallish peaches)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
-
Here is the info on the pie crust our Nana would make. If you want to simplify you could always use a frozen pie crust from the store as well.
-
Mix together flour and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pasty cutter of fork. Measure out the 1/3 cup milk then add 1 T. vinegar. Pour the liquid into the flour mixture a little at a time. Gently gather dough into a ball. Roll out dough on a floured board (I like to spray with cooking spray then sprinkle flour) a little bigger than the pie pan. Gently place in pie dish and cut off the excess. Pinch the edges to make look pretty. Bake at 475 degrees for 8 to 10 min. Here is a great blog post on a Bountiful Kitchen for making pie crusts for more info if needed!
-
Peel and slice the peaches 4 peaches (about 4 cups) then set aside.
-
In a medium-sized pot, mix together the 1 cup of mashed peach and water. Cook for 4 minutes over medium heat. Add the sugar and cornstarch and cook until clear. It will thicken up and be a nice thick glaze. Remove from heat and add the lemon, salt and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and then let the mixture cool.
-
Arrange the sliced peaches in the bottom of the cooked and cooled pie shell. Pour the peach glaze over the top. Chill in the refrigerator.
-
Serve cold with sweet whipped cream if desired. Or vanilla ice cream is good too.

Adell,
I am not sure how I happened onto your site, but I am very grateful. This Fresh Peach Pie is phenomenal. I thought I had a winner before, but yours takes the crown. Thank you so much for sharing.
Blessings to you and yours!
I am so glad you happened upon my site! That means so much, this recipe is so special, it came from our Nana and she always made it for Papa every year during peach season, it is his favorite. Blessings to you too!
My husband could not stop talking about this peach pie. I am making two more tonight.
Yay! It is a special recipe in our family. Reminds me of our Nana. So glad your husband loved it.
I was looking for a fresh peach pie recipe and found yours. My guests and I thought it was the best that they have ever had. I worked for Marie Callender’s for ten years in the 70’s. Your crust is my new go to.
Thankyou 😀
Oh this makes me so happy to heart! Thanks for the review. I am so glad you enjoyed the pie 🙂
Love this recipe. It’s so delicious 😋
Thank you! I am so glad you loved it!
The peach pie was delicious, but the filling was a little watery. Did I not cook the glaze long enough or were the peaches too watery?
Yes, maybe you didn’t cook it long enough. I don’t think the peaches were too watery. Did it not set up after a while? The cornstarch should help to thicken it.
A friend made this for my birthday. Everyone LOVED it! I think it’s the best pie I’ve ever tasted. Love it being fresh vs cooked. I made it today for a dinner party. . I am intimidated by making crust. So I first tried the Pillsbury refrigerated one. It shrunk beyond being usable despite pricking all over. . So sent my hubby to buy a frozen. It is fine, but wasn’t a very large pie. I’ll try your crust next time. I’ll have to buy shortening.
Thanks to you and Nana!
I am so glad you loved the pie and what an awesome friend to make it for your birthday! I just had a birthday on the 6th!
