How to Make Fresh Peach Pie
- Start by adding your peeled and chopped peaches to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice, then stir well to coat. Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Drain the peach juice into a measuring cup to collect about 1 cup. Pour this juice into a saucepan, then whisk in the cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the butter, salt, and almond extract.
- Pour the warm sauce over your peaches, tossing gently to coat. Transfer the mixture into your prepared pie shell.
- Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
- Serve generous slices topped with whipped cream.
Notes
Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor. Adjust the sugar based on sweetness. Bake the crust until golden for a crispy finish.
