Peach Pie
There’s truly nothing better than a slice of warm peach pie…unless it’s that same slice of pie with some fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top! Peach season is in full swing here and we can’t get enough. If you are fortunate to live in an area where you can grow or buy fresh peaches, you know the difference between an orchard-grown peach and a store-bought peach. Fresh peaches are so juicy and sweet. There isn’t much in this world that tastes better. This recipe is our go-to because it is quick, easy, and uses a prepared crust. We love using our Perfect Pie Crust recipe, but this filling tastes amazing in a graham cracker crust as well.
The Best Peach Pie Filling
The best peach pie filling is one that is somewhat simple. It perfectly complements the taste of the delicious peaches without overpowering them. The peach is naturally fantastic—you really don’t need to add a massive list of ingredients to it. Every item in this filling is there because it highlights the star of the show.
- Sugar – The sugar adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the pie. Not to much, but just enough to compliment the tart peaches.
- Cornstarch – Cornstarch acts as a thickening agent for the filling. It keeps the pie slices together when you are serving.
- Water – The water is for texture. You can use peach juice or orange juice instead if you are wanting more flavor.
- Butter – The butter gives the filling a richer flavor. You don’t want to skip it!
- Vanilla or Almond Extract – The extract you choose depends on preference! Either one is delicious.
Recipe Tips
Depending on the type and ripeness of the peaches, they may give off some juice in the bowl while they sit. You can use the juice as part of the 3/4 cup of water or just strain it off.

Fantastic recipe! My new go-to peach pie!
Natalie says
Year-round classic. One of my favorite pies. I will give your recipe a try. Looks absolutely delicious.
MegG says
You should really mention that this is a no-bake recipe. I didn’t make this because only in the comments was it revealed that this isn’t baked. I thought you missed a crucial step.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Thank you for your feedback. I have edited the recipe to try and be more clear.
Camille says
Water and butter. Thick but pie would not stay in shape. Fell apart. What did I do wrong
Favorite Family Recipes says
Did your peaches have a lot of juice in the bowl? Some peaches give off more juice, making the filling watery. You can drain the juice off before you pour the glaze over the peaches! I hope this helps!
Annette says
I can’t find good peaches. Could I use frozen?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes I think that would work! Just thaw them first and drain off any excess water.
sharon says
why do we need two dough balls?? since we don’t cover the top of the peach.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Our most favorite pie crust recipe just happens to make two pie crusts! I just save the other one for later.
Sundee Jensen says
Do I pre cook the pie crust ?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes! This is a no-bake peach pie, so a prepared pie crust should be used.
Dam says
The recipe indicates pie is served without baking. What should I do? If baking-what temperature and how long
Favorite Family Recipes says
This is a no-bake peach pie! The peaches are still warm because the glaze is warm when you pour it over, but you do not bake the filling. It is poured into a prepared crust.
Jackie says
How long do you bake it and at what temp?

Donna says
I love that this comes with homemade pie crust instructions, peach pie is awesome, but even better when the crust is homemade too, and this one did not disappoint.
Jamie says
This peach pie is divine. I love the addition of the cinnamon to the pie filling it really adds depth to the flavors. Thanks for a good and easy recipe.
Angelina says
Is the filling enough to make a 9″ deep dish pie, since you didn’t specify. This pie sounds scrumptious, & peaches are my favorite fruit, so I’m anxious to try it. Thanks 🙂
Louise Buchler says
Can you make a single crust peach pie and put a glaze on
I would also need recipe for the glaze
Favorite Family Recipes says
We haven’t made a glaze for this recipe before so if you try a glaze on it, let us know how it turns out! You can absolutely make a single crust with it 🙂
Gwen Yost says
I’ll try the Lemon pie, thanks for posting
