What Is A Peach Pie?

So, what is a peach pie? To talk about the basics, a peach pie is a type of baked fruit pie usually served as a dessert or snack. This type of pie is sweet and uses freshly cut peaches that are made into a sweet and cinnamon glaze before baking into the pie.

There are many ways, though, that you can cook a peach pie. Some people opt to use fresh peaches, while others look for canned peaches when they are not in season. Some people use pre-baked frozen crusts, while other bakers choose to make their own using graham crackers, eggs, butter, and brown sugar.

The General History Of Fruit Pies

Fruit pies have been around for a long time, they are not a new concept, which is why we have hundreds of fruit pie recipes that you can try! Most of the time, you hear about apple pies and peach cobblers, but regular peach pies are just as delicious.

The first pie was made in Egypt and Greece thousands of years ago. However, instead of using sweet ingredients like sugar or fresh fruits, the Egyptians and Greeks would stuff pie breads with savory meats, cheeses, and salty seasonings. The famous Greek spinach and cheese pie is based on ancient pies from the second century.

Step by Step Instructions For Our Peach Pie With Pillsbury Pie Crust

Step 1: Pre-bake and Prepare the Pillsbury Pie Crust

You will need to begin this peach pie with Pillsbury pie crust recipe by pre-baking the pie crust. All pie crust is different so pay special attention to the instructions. Do not over bake the pie crust. Only keep it in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2: Gather the Ingredients for the Filling

After your Pillsbury pie crust is in the oven, you can start to prepare and gather the ingredients. It is going to take some time before you can mix the ingredients together. Instead, peel the fresh peaches and cut them into small cubes.

Step 3: Whisk the Ingredients for the Filling

Once all the ingredients are together and properly measured out, whisk them together for the filling. As you whisk the ingredients, it is a good idea to pre-heat the oven if you already haven’t. Set the oven to a minimum temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 4: Pour the Filling into the Peach Pie Crust

The filling should only take you about 10 minutes to prepare and complete. Make sure that the filling is smooth and there are no large lumps of sugar or spices. Pour the filling into the peach pie crust that has been pre-baked.

Step 5: Bake for 45 Minutes

Once the oven reaches 400 degrees Fahrenheit, you can place your peach pie with Pillsbury pie crust inside of the oven and bake for a minimum of 35 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes. The pie crusts should be golden on top once it is fully baked.

Step 6: Cool at least 20 Minutes Before Serving

Take it out of the oven when you believe your pie is ready. Then, let is cool on a cooling rack or in your refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving. The glaze and filling is so hot that you can burn your tongue.

Tips And Tricks

The first tip or trick I have for you is to create a glaze by using a skillet. If you want a thicker and sweeter peach pie filling, try adding heat to a pot and mixing the ingredients in slowly. Mixing the ingredients without heat can only do so much. If you do choose to make a glaze, I recommend making some extra to add as a topping.

The best thing about enjoying a peach pie with Pillsbury pie crust is how sweet it is and how it pairs well with other foods. Once you are ready to serve this delicious dessert, add a scoop or two of vanilla bean ice cream on top and let it melt with the rest of the peach and spices.
