Ohhh yes 🍑🥧 Peach Pie with Canned Peaches—sweet, juicy, and perfect for a quick and easy dessert when fresh peaches aren’t in season. Here’s a classic, foolproof recipe:
🍑 Peach Pie (Using Canned Peaches)
Ingredients (serves 6–8)
Crust
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (or homemade, 9-inch)
Filling
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches, drained (reserve 1/4 cup syrup)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust depending on syrup sweetness)
- 2–3 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (balances sweetness)
- 1–2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
Optional topping
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare a 9-inch pie pan and place bottom crust inside.
2️⃣ Prepare filling
- In a medium bowl, combine drained peaches, reserved syrup, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- Mix gently to coat peaches without breaking them up.
3️⃣ Assemble pie
- Pour peach filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Dot filling with small butter pieces.
- Cover with top crust; crimp edges to seal.
- Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Optional: brush top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for shine and crunch.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake 35–40 more minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let pie cool at least 1 hour to allow filling to set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Pro Tips
- Thick filling: mix 1–2 tbsp cornstarch with sugar for a slightly thicker, glossy filling.
- Even baking: cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Flavor boost: add 1/4 tsp almond extract for a subtle nutty note.
- Presentation: lattice top crust or crumble topping works beautifully too.
🔥 Variations
- 🍨 Peach-Cream Pie: fold in 1/2 cup cream cheese or custard for extra creaminess
- 🥧 Spiced Peach Pie: add 1/4 tsp ground ginger or cardamom to the filling
- 🍑 Peach Crumble Pie: top with oat crumble instead of a second crust
- 🥥 Tropical Twist: mix in shredded coconut with the filling
I can also give a “ultra-juicy, perfectly set canned peach pie” version with a buttery lattice crust and caramelized edges—basically dessert perfection 😏.
