Description
Peach Bourbon Pie features juicy peaches with a sweet, spiced filling enhanced by bourbon, baked in a flaky double crust for a classic, comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
5 cups thinly sliced peaches (peeled if desired) — about 6 or 7 medium peaches
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of nutmeg
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup bourbon
1 tablespoon butter
Milk and sugar, for brushing crust
1 chilled double (unbaked) pie crust
Instructions
- Whisk flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon zest in a large bowl.
- Add sliced peaches and toss to coat evenly. Stir in lemon juice and bourbon.
- Roll out one half of pie dough into 12-inch circle; place in 9-inch pie pan.
- Pour peach filling into crust and smooth top. Dot butter pieces evenly over peaches.
- Roll out second half of dough and cover pie. Pinch edges to seal and shape with ridge or scallop.
- Brush top crust with milk and sprinkle sugar. Cut slits to vent steam or create lattice crust.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes. Reduce oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake 25-30 minutes more until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
- Let cool before serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
