Fresh peaches and ingredients laid out for preparation.
Directions
- In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Prepare your pie crust in a pie plate, making sure it’s evenly spread out.
- Fill the crust with the peach mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Dot the filling with small pieces of butter for added richness.
- If desired, cover with another pie crust or leave it open-faced for a rustic look.
- If you’re not baking immediately, freeze the pie until you’re ready to bake.

Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: If fresh peaches aren’t available, feel free to use frozen peaches—just be sure to thaw and drain any excess moisture.
- Optional variations: Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for an additional layer of flavor, or mix in some blueberries for a delightful twist.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a low oven to restore the pie’s flakiness.
