Hey everyone! I’m so excited to share this amazing canned peach pie recipe with you. It’s a great dessert for any occasion and it has an extra-special twist – a graham cracker crust! This delicious treat will be the star of your next gathering, guaranteed.
I love how easy this canned peach pie is to make; all you need are some basic ingredients like peaches in syrup, butter, sugar, and graham crackers. Plus, it only takes about 15 minutes of prep time before baking. You’ve got to try this one out – trust me, you won’t regret it!
Ingredients
I’m excited to share this canned peach pie recipe with you. The fruit selection is a key part of this recipe and it’s best to use ripe peaches for the most flavor. To ensure that your pie turns out juicy, choose very ripe or slightly over-ripe yellow cling peaches. This variety has more sugar than other types and will make for a sweeter filling.
The crust alternatives provide great options if you don’t want to make the pastry from scratch. I like using graham cracker crumbs as a base because they are easy to find at any grocery store and have lots of texture when baked into the crust. Plus, their sweetness pairs perfectly with the tartness of the peach filling.
With these two components combined, you’ll end up with an amazing homemade dessert that looks almost too good to eat! Let’s get started on making this delicious canned peach pie today.
Preheat The Oven
I’m making a delicious canned peach pie with a graham cracker crust, so I need to preheat my oven. I’m sure the recipe says what temperature to preheat the oven to, so I better check that first. I usually give the oven at least 10 minutes to preheat so it reaches the desired temperature. Once I know the oven is preheated and ready, I can start making my pie!
Oven Temperature
I’m preheating the oven so I can bake my delicious canned peach pie with a graham cracker crust. The temperature needs to be just right; not too hot, or else it’ll burn and not too cool, or else the pie won’t get cooked properly. Serving temperatures should be room temperature or slightly warm – that way you get all of the flavor from the peaches! If there are any leftovers store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and enjoy cold. With this perfect temperature, your family will love every last bite of their sweet treat!
Preheat Time
Preheating the oven is a crucial step for baking a delicious canned peach pie. To get the timing just right, it’s best to preheat at least 10 minutes before you plan on putting in your pie. That way you know that the temperature has reached its peak and won’t need any more adjustments as you start baking. Temperature advice wise, I recommend setting your oven to 375°F – this will ensure that everything gets cooked through without burning or over-cooking. With these tips in mind, your family can enjoy their sweet treat with perfect timing and temperature!
Preparing The Pie Crust
I’m going to show you how to prepare the perfect graham cracker crust for your canned peach pie. First, take a large bowl and mix together two cups of finely crushed graham crackers with one-third cup of melted butter. Use folding techniques to combine them until they form a crumbly mixture. You can also choose to use different variations of the crust like adding sugar or cinnamon for added flavor.
Next, press this mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep dish pie plate so that it forms an even layer all around the pan. Make sure that you do not leave any gaps or holes in between! To make sure that the crust stays intact while baking, poke several small holes on top using a fork.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes before adding your filling ingredients. Allow the crust to cool completely before serving, as this will help maintain its texture and shape. Enjoy your delicious canned peach pie!
Assembling The Pie
I’m getting excited now that the crust is ready; it’s time to assemble the pie! First, I’ll open a can of peaches and pour them into my graham cracker crust. Then, I’ll choose which type of filling I’d like to use. Do I want an egg custard or maybe a sweetened cream cheese? Whichever one looks tastier will be the one for me.
Once I’ve made up my mind about the filling, all that’s left is to spread it carefully over my canned peaches. Now comes the hardest part: waiting for it to bake in the oven until golden brown and bubbly. The smell when it’s done will make my mouth water with anticipation as I slice myself a piece and enjoy every delicious bite.
Baking And Cooling
Now that the pie is assembled, it’s time to get baking! Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the graham cracker crust on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until slightly golden brown. Since this recipe uses a pre-made crust, you don’t need to worry about substituting ingredients or decorating the crust.
Once finished baking, remove from oven and let cool completely before adding in the peaches – otherwise they’ll become soggy! Once cooled down, add in the canned peach slices into the graham cracker crust. As an optional step, top with some fresh whipped cream if desired.
With that last step complete, your delicious homemade peach pie is ready to be enjoyed! Serve up warm or chilled (depending on personal preference). Enjoy your beautiful creation!
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Best Type Of Canned Peaches To Use For This Recipe?
When making a canned peach pie, the best type of peaches to use is a variety that has alternative sweetness and different textures. Canned cling peaches are usually great since they have good flavor and texture even when cooked. They also provide plenty of natural sugar so you don’t need to add any extra sweetener while baking. Another option is to use canned sliced or diced peaches which can be used in recipes where you want more texture variation. Whichever type you choose, make sure it’s ripe enough for your recipe!
Are There Any Substitutions For The Graham Cracker Crust?
If you’re looking for an alternative to the graham cracker crust, there are plenty of options. You could opt for a flour-based pie crust with all-purpose or even whole wheat flour. If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out your graham crackers for cookie crumbs like Oreos or chocolate chip cookies! There is no wrong answer when it comes to choosing an alternative crust – just make sure that whatever you pick complements the flavor of the peaches in your canned peach pie recipe.
How Long Will The Pie Keep In The Refrigerator?
Storing your delicious canned peach pie with a graham cracker crust is simple. As long as you keep it in the refrigerator, you should be able to enjoy it for up to four days. Of course, this may vary depending on how fresh the ingredients are that used to make the pie. To ensure maximum shelf life and quality of taste, make sure to store it in an airtight container or wrap it well before putting it into the fridge.
Can I Use Frozen Peaches Instead Of Canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches instead of canned! To make your own peach pie using fresh peaches and a pre-made graham cracker crust, start by thawing the frozen peaches in their shells. Once they’ve thawed, peel them so that you’re left with just the fruit. From there, you’ll combine the peeled peaches with sugar, cornstarch and some other spices for flavor. Finally, pour this mixture into the graham cracker crust and bake it until golden brown. Enjoy!
Can I Make The Pie Crust In Advance?
Sure! Making your pie crust ahead of time is a great way to save time. You can make the crust up to two days in advance, store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before baking. If you’re looking for a substitution, try using brown sugar instead of white granulated sugar – this will give it a slightly different flavor profile. And don’t forget that alternative fillings like apples and blueberries work just as well with graham cracker crusts too!
Conclusion
Making a canned peach pie with a graham cracker crust is an easy and delicious way to enjoy the summertime flavors of peaches. I recommend using light syrup or juice packed peaches for this recipe, as they will provide the best flavor and texture. If you don’t have access to graham crackers, feel free to use your favorite type of cookie crumbs instead. The finished pie should be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days if kept covered. You can also opt for frozen peaches if fresh ones are unavailable; just make sure that they are completely thawed before preparing them for the pie. Finally, pre-made pie crusts can save time when making this dish – so consider making one ahead of time! With these tips in mind, you’re sure to create a delicious homemade canned peach pie.
