Classic Peach Pie Recipe

One bite and you'll realize why those are the four most delicious words in baking history.

Freshly baked peach pie is a summer staple and one of our absolute favorite ways to enjoy Oregold Peaches. Crumbly, buttery crust paired with soft, juicy peaches? Nothing could be better! Well, maybe with ice cream on top...

Making peach pie, or any kind of pie, can be intimidating, but peaches don't need a lot of extra work to turn into a delicious filling. Just a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg is enough to add a little bit of fall coziness to this fresh summer dessert.

Ingredients

    For the crust

    1

  • 2
  • Slowly add the water until the dough forms a ball.
  • 3
  • Remove the dough and divide into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Optional: Split the dough into thirds, with two larger pieces and one smaller for extra decoration on the top of the pie.

  • Form each dough ball into a disk and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
  • 5
  • Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

  • 3
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to 1/4-inch thick.
