Description
Mom’s classic peaches and cream pie features tender canned peaches in a rich, custard-like cream filling with warm cinnamon, all baked in a flaky pie crust until golden and set
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 (15 ounce) can peach slices, well drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 dash salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
- Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and get that pie crust ready. If you’re using store-bought (no judgment here!), just unroll it into your 9-inch pie pan and crimp those edges nice and pretty.
- Drain those peaches really well – I like to let them sit in a colander for about 10 minutes and even pat them dry with paper towels. Nobody wants a soggy bottom crust!
- Arrange the peach slices in your prepared pie crust. Don’t worry about making it perfect – rustic is beautiful, and they’ll settle as they bake anyway.
- Make the magic custard filling by whisking together the heavy cream, sugar, eggs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until it’s completely smooth – no lumps allowed! This should take about 2-3 minutes of good whisking.
- Pour the cream mixture right over those peaches. It might seem like a lot of liquid, but trust the process – it’s going to set up beautifully in the oven.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon – don’t be shy! I like to give it a generous dusting because that warm spice really makes the whole pie sing.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until the center is firm when you gently shake the pan. The top should be golden brown and set – no jiggly center allowed!
Notes
- You Can use fresh peaches (about 3-4 medium peaches, peeled and sliced)
- Heavy cream can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter version
- Regular sugar works perfectly, but you can try coconut sugar for a deeper flavor
