Ingredients

• 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
• 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Peach Cream Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly and let sit for 10 minutes.
4. Pour the peach mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
7. Once the pie is cooled, top it generously with the whipped cream. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture.
• Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
• For a flakier crust, avoid overworking the dough when pressing it into the pie dish.
• Chill the whipped cream in the bowl for 10 minutes before whipping for better results.

Easy Variations

• Add a layer of cream cheese mixed with sugar and vanilla under the whipped cream for added richness.
• Substitute half of the peaches with fresh berries for a mixed fruit pie.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for a decadent touch.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
• A drizzle of honey or caramel sauce for added sweetness.
• A glass of iced tea or lemonade to complement the flavors.
