I have been making this peach pie for a very long time. It’s a must-make when it’s fresh peach season! What makes this peach special is the creamy sauce that bakes with the peaches, making a distinct “peaches and cream” pie experience.

Of course, the crumble topping is a nice touch, as well as being a little different. It brings a bit of peach crisp to this pie.

Ingredients and substitutions

A few notes about the key ingredients …

Peaches – this pie is best enjoyed during fresh peach season. Be sure to use perfectly ripe peaches, that are still a little firm, for best results.

Sour Cream – for best results, use a full fat sour cream for the filling.

Pie Crust – You can use either your favourite pie crust recipe or a store bought pie crust for this one. You’ll want to use a deep dish one, in either case.

Recipe tip!

Peaches are especially juicy and likely to bubble over, so I suggest baking this pie on top of a baking sheet, to catch any drips.

Ingredients

  • 1 deep dish pie crust, homemade or store-bought

Filling:

  • 5 cups fresh peaches, about 5-6 large, peeled and thickly sliced
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sour cream

Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. (non convection/not fan-assisted)
  • In a large bowl, toss the peaches with the filling white sugar and flour. Stir in the sour cream. Spoon filling into unbaked pie shell, then place pie shell on a baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients (except butter). Stir in melted butter with a fork until you have evenly moistened crumbs, with just a few larger pieces. Scatter topping over pie filling.

You can refrigerate and serve cooled as well.
