This recipe is a great blend of cozy fall and fresh summertime flavors.

In the late summer, if you’re looking for a fun and unique late-summer date idea or family outing, head to a local orchard to pick peaches. There’s no better way to spend time together and the juicy, fresh fruit are sooo worth it!

That is what makes this recipe one of my favorite recipes to make with the kids. Letting them see the process from start to finish is both educational and super rewarding. From picking the fruit fresh from the trees, to making the homemade crust, to finally tasting and enjoying the fruits of their labor, kids get to see and gain appreciation for all the steps involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep a peach pie from being runny?

The cornstarch is used to thicken the peach mixture. If the peaches are extra juicy, increase the corn starch just a little at a time to thicken the sauce. Because adding cornstarch can cause lumps, add cornstarch to a little water and whisk before AND WHILE adding it to the sauce.

What is lemon juice used for in peach pie?

To keep the beautiful natural color of the peaches, add the teaspoon of lemon juice to the peaches and stir to coat. This isn’t a necessary step, but it does keep the peaches looking fresher for longer.

Can you leave peach skin on for pie?

Keeping the skin on the peaches can add an unpleasant texture and slightly bitter taste. Therefore, it is better to remove the skins from the peaches when using them for pie filling.

Can canned peaches be used in place of fresh peaches?

Fresh peaches are best for this recipe, but you can use a large can of peaches, well drained, if necessary.

Should you poke holes in the bottom of pie crust?

Yes, before baking, poke the sides and bottom of the crust several times (10-12 pricks around the entire crust should be enough). This will allow air to escape and prevent the crust from bubbling and cracking as it bakes.
