Fresh Peach Pie
Description
To prepare Fresh Peach Pie, peeled and chopped peaches are combined with sugar and lemon juice and rested to draw out juice. The extracted juice is thickened by cooking it with cornstarch, then enriched with butter, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. The peaches are placed into a baked pie shell and topped with the thickened sauce before chilling to set.
The dessert delivers a soft, juicy filling with a smooth glaze that accentuates the peaches’ flavor without overwhelming it. Serving with whipped cream adds a light, creamy contrast to the bright and tender fruit.
This pie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator up to a day. It is also suitable for freezing when tightly wrapped; thaw completely before serving. These options provide practical flexibility for preparing ahead of time or enjoying later.
