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)!

This is like a fresh strawberry pie made with peaches. The thing is I happen to be a peach lover. I don’t know about calling it no-bake when you have to make the pie crust though… We did enjoy it. Even my son who doesn’t care for peaches.
Buy a premade crust. Problem solved, no baking.
First of your recipes I ever saw! Yummy! Would like your peach cobbler and any more I get! Thank you.
It’s a super hit at my house. I got more than a cup of juice. I’d attribute part of that to blanching and dunking in ice water (who doesn’t love to “peel” a peach in 3 seconds?) but for the most-part, you really need good ripe peaches.
This is a sooo much better than cooked peach pie. Only change was I pureed some of the peaches into the liquid mixture, before cooking. My mom made a recipe like this growing up. Absolutely 5 stars. I made mini pies in muffin tins and my kids loved it. Then I can prepare bits at a time without getting a soggy bottom 👍. Thanks for sharing!
I cannot wait to try this, especially with the summer heat. One question: is the cornstarch necessary (what happens if I don’t use it? A thinner syrup? Total disaster?)
Hi Sarah, right, the filling just wouldn’t hold together when you cut into the pie.
Great recipe. My family loved it. Had a problem with getting enough juice like some of the others commented, but I put the peaches in a salad spinner, and came up with a cup of juice. Have done this twice now. Works great and the pie tastes great.
I realize you wrote this comment 3 years ago but I want to thank you for the great idea!
We loved the pie! We prefer fresh fruit over cooked. The pie was just right and so yummy, especially in my homemade graham cracker crust. We’d give it a 10 out of 5 stars!
Such a hit! Made it three times already and everyone loves it. Thanks!!!
I like to Bake going to make this for the Labor Day Picnic.?
This was wonderful! I don’t like cooked fruit as, like you said, it loses its flavor and this was the absolutely perfect solution. It was so sweet and refreshing and not too heavy! My daughter and I only got a slice because my husband ended up eating the rest of the pie that night! 😛 I’m making this again for a friend who just had a baby and will be making a second right alongside it for us as well.. New regular summer recipe! Thanks so much!!
Thanks Amanda! I’m so happy you and your family liked it!
