Fresh peaches are the star of our Fresh Peach Pie recipe and the filling is no-bake and so quick and easy to make.
Fresh Peach Pie is one of the easiest pies to make!
Fresh Peach Pie is one of the easiest pies to make!I love this recipe because the focus is truely on the fresh peaches and their flavor shines! We use a traditional pie crust and fill it to the brim with juicy peaches tossed in a simple glaze that helps hold the filling together. I think sliced peaches are so pretty in this pie, but I also like to chop them into bite-size pieces to make the pie easier to eat; either way will work great! This is truly the best fresh peach pie recipe and I can't wait for you to try it!
Take advantage of peach season and let me teach you How to Can Peaches, or make Peach Cobbler, Peach Scones, Peach Jam, or Baked Peaches!
How to make Fresh Peach Pie:
Make Peach Pie Filling: Peel and chop the peaches, add them to a bowl, then add sugar and lemon juice. Stir then let sit for at least 30 minutes, to accumulate peach juice. Drain peach juice into a measuring cup to get 1 cup then pour into saucepan and stir in cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in butter, salt, and almond extract.
Assemble: Pour glaze over peaches and toss to coat. Add peaches to baked pie shell and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. I love to serve this easy fresh peach pie with a dollop of whipped cream (but it's great without, too)!

We have a nectarine tree. Could you replace the peaches with nectarines?
Can this peach filling be frozen before using?
Yes! Just cook the filling first, cool it completely, and freeze in an airtight container.
This is truly the best peach pie I have ever eaten!
I love fresh peach pie. A numberr of years ago I had a recipe (Betty Crocker?) that that called for slightly sweetened whipped cream cheese spread on the bottom crust and then the peach filling spooned on top. So good and the crust doesn’t get soggy!
Do you have the cream cheese recipe? I e been looking for one with cream cheese on the bottom. Do you need to bake it as you bake the pie shell? Thanks!
