Hi there! Are you looking for a delicious and simple canned peach pie recipe? Look no further! I’m here to share with you my favorite go-to recipe that is sure to please. This recipe has been in the family for years, and it’s absolutely divine.

It couldn’t be simpler either – all it requires is a can of peaches, some buttery pastry dough, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. That’s it! You’ll have yourself an amazing homemade pie in just minutes. So let’s get started!

Preparing The Pastry Dough

I’m excited to share my favorite canned peach pie recipe with you! It’s a simple and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed any time of year. To get started, we’ll need to make the pastry dough.

Making the dough is easy: just mix together all-purpose flour, butter, salt, and ice water until it forms a ball. When rolling out the dough for your crust, I have some tips for you: roll from the center outward in one direction; use enough pressure on your rolling pin so that it passes through each layer of dough without sticking or tearing; and choose between making either a single-crust bottom pie or both top and bottom double-crust pies.

There are several variations when it comes to crusts too — like using melted butter instead of cold butter, swapping part of your all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour, or adding sugar if you’re looking for something sweeter than traditional recipes. No matter what variation you decide to try out, this canned peach pie will be sure to please everyone at your table.

Assembling The Pie

I’m excited to get started with this pie! The first step is to prepare the dough. I like to use a chilled dough for my pies, so I’ll take it out of the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it’s an even thickness. Then I line my pan with the dough and use any extra pieces to patch up holes or thin spots in the crust.

The next step is to add the filling. For this recipe, I open a can of peach slices and pour them into the lined pan over top of the crust. It looks delicious already! Finally, I sprinkle some sugar overtop before covering everything with another layer of rolled-out pastry dough.

I pop it all in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Now that’s what I call mouthwatering!

Mixing The Filling

I’m getting started on my canned peach pie recipe and it’s time to mix the filling. First, I’m preparing the fruit – peeling and slicing the peaches and adding a bit of sugar. Then, I’m adding the liquid – a mixture of cornstarch and water to thicken up the filling. I’m almost done with this step, so I’m getting excited to move onto the next one!

Preparing The Fruit

It’s time to start prepping the peaches for our canned peach pie! I’m going to walk you through the process of how we’re going to do this. First, make sure that you have a good selection of ripe peaches. You’ll need about 8-10 large ones for 1 canning process. Once you’ve got your peaches ready, it’s time to peel them. Remove the skin from each peach and cut out any bruises or blemishes before placing them in a bowl. Then, slice up your prepared peaches into bite sized pieces and set aside until needed later on in the recipe. In order to ensure that our canned peach pie is extra juicy and delicious, let’s not forget those yummy juices either – simply pour all the juice produced during slicing into a separate container so we don’t lose any of their natural sweetness!

Adding The Liquid

Great! Now that we have our peaches prepped and ready to go, let’s move on to the next step of making our canned peach pie – adding the liquid. Choosing a liquid can make or break your filling, so it’s important to select one carefully. I like to use either water or apple juice for my pies as both are sweet and add a lot of flavor. You’ll also need to add a thickening agent such as cornstarch or tapioca starch in order to give the filling structure when baking. Just mix two tablespoons into 1/2 cup of cold liquid before stirring it into the mixture. Once all these components come together, you’ve got yourself an amazing homemade canned peach pie filling!

Baking The Pie

Now that the filling is ready, it’s time to prepare and bake the pie. To start, take out your favorite dough recipe from the refrigerator or pantry, as this will be used for both a top and bottom crust. Before rolling out the dough, make sure to lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin so that it does not stick when you begin to shape it. With a few swipes of the rolling pin, roll each piece of dough until they are large enough to cover both the bottom and sides of an 8-inch pie dish. Once in place, press down gently along the edges with a fork. Then store any remaining dough scraps in wax paper in case you need them later on.

At this point, preheat your oven to 350°F (or whatever temperature is recommended by your favorite dough recipe). Now we can move onto blind baking – which simply means baking without any filling inside! Prick holes into the bottom of your pie using a fork and then line it with foil before adding weights like beans or rice for added support during baking. Place on center rack in preheated oven for about 15 minutes before removing foil/weights and baking for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. This helps maintain its structure while also giving it some color prior to adding our peach filling.

Once done baking, remove from oven but leave at room temperature until cooled off completely before transferring the prepared filling inside – now comes time to enjoy all that hard work!

Enjoying The Delicious Results

I’m so excited to finally share my delicious canned peach pie recipe with all of you! There’s nothing like the sweet taste of a homemade dessert, so let’s dive into how to make it.

First, preheat your oven and gather together all the ingredients – including 2 cans of peaches in syrup or light syrup. Next, mix together the remaining ingredients until combined. Then pour everything into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly on top.

When enjoying this mouthwatering treat, there are many variations and tips I would recommend trying out depending on what type of flavor profile you’re looking for. For example, adding some almond extract will give a nutty kick while sprinkling more cinnamon over the top can add a bit more spice. And don’t forget about topping it off with some whipped cream or ice cream if desired! With such an easy but delightful recipe, you’ll be sure to impress everyone who takes their first bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Best Type Of Canned Peach To Use For This Recipe?

When it comes to canned peaches, there are a variety of different types available on the market. For making a peach pie recipe, you want to choose one that has a good balance between sweetness and texture. Depending on your preference, you can go for either light or dark syrup varieties, depending on how sweet you like your pies. Light syrup varieties will have less sugar so they won’t be as sweet, while darker syrups may give more flavor but with higher levels of sugar. Ultimately though, these decisions come down to personal preference!

Is It Possible To Make This Recipe With Fresh Peaches Instead?

Yes, you can definitely make a delicious peach pie with fresh peaches! It’s actually quite simple – all you need is a few basic cooking tips and some serving ideas. First of all, be sure to choose ripe but firm peaches for your recipe. You’ll also want to blanch them before using in the filling so they don’t become too soft during baking. To help thicken up the filling, try adding cornstarch or instant tapioca at the end before pouring into your crust. Finally, serve it up warm with ice cream or whipped cream – yum!

How Long Does The Pie Need To Cool Before Serving?

Cooling time is an important part of serving a homemade pie, no matter what type you choose. When it comes to peach pies, the cooling time will depend on the state of your ingredients – either fresh or canned peaches. When making a canned peach pie, you’ll want the pie to cool completely before serving. This typically takes about two hours at room temperature before it’s ready to be served at its best flavor and texture.

What Are Some Alternative Crust Options For This Pie?

If you’re looking for a gluten-free or nut based crust option for your pie, then you’ve got some great options. You can make a traditional shortcrust pastry with almond flour instead of plain wheat flour, making it totally gluten-free yet still light and flaky. Or if you want something even simpler, try using crushed nuts mixed with melted butter to form the base – this works especially well for pecan pies. Finally, you could use store bought pre-made gluten free pastry from the supermarket which is always an easy and convenient alternative.

Is There Any Way To Make This Recipe Vegan Or Dairy-Free?

If you’re looking for vegan and dairy-free alternatives to make a canned peach pie recipe, there are plenty of substitutes out there. You can use vegan butter or vegetable shortening as an alternative to regular butter in the crust, while coconut oil is also a great option. Dairy-free milk options like almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk work just as well when it comes to making your filling creamy and delicious. With these simple swaps, you can easily create a healthy version of this classic dessert!

Conclusion

Making a canned peach pie is a great way to enjoy the sweet taste of peaches all year round! Whether you prefer using canned or fresh peaches, this classic dessert can be modified and adapted to suit your dietary needs.
