Peach Custard Pie (Printable)

Fresh peaches meet creamy custard in a buttery pastry crust for the ultimate summer treat.

# What's Needed:

→ Crust

01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

→ Filling

02 - 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
03 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

→ Custard

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 3/4 cup whole milk
08 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
09 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 - Pinch of salt

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Arrange the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and flour until evenly coated. Spread the peaches evenly in the prepared pie crust.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
04 - Pour the custard mixture evenly over the peaches. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
05 - Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for best slicing.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • The combination of juicy peaches and creamy custard creates the most luxurious texture youve ever experienced in a pie
  • It strikes that perfect balance between fruit forward sweetness and rich comforting dessert that makes everyone ask for seconds
02 -
  • The pie may look slightly jiggly when you pull it from the oven, but it will firm up beautifully as it cools, so do not overbake
  • Serving this pie cold rather than warm makes slicing much cleaner and really lets the custard texture shine
03 -
  • Brush the crust with egg white before baking to create a waterproof seal that keeps it crisp
  • Place a baking sheet on the rack below the pie to catch any potential drips and save your oven from cleanup
