This delightful peach pie is a summer staple and one of our absolute favorite ways to enjoy our Oregold® Peaches. Crumbly, buttery crust paired with soft, juicy peaches? Nothing could be better!
Making 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 just a little bit of coziness to this fresh summer pie. The use of ready-made pie crust makes this even easier, but if you’re feeling adventurous you could try the homemade crust recipe from our post here.
This peach pie is easy enough for entertaining, but good enough that you might just want to keep it all to yourself. And of course, top it off with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
