Description
A comforting homemade peach custard pie featuring sweet juicy peaches baked in a silky vanilla custard inside a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Arrange sliced peaches evenly across the bottom of the crust.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, half-and-half, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture carefully over the peaches.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
- If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges loosely with foil.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use canned or frozen peaches if fresh peaches are unavailable.
- A pinch of nutmeg adds extra warmth and flavor.
- Peeling peaches gives a smoother texture but is optional.
- Cool fully before slicing to allow the custard to set properly.
- Serve chilled or slightly warm depending on preference.
