Inside the peaches and cream pie.

Ah, summer, a.k.a prime peach season! If you have too many fresh peaches on your hands this summer and don’t know what to do with them, I definitely recommend transforming them into this easy peaches and cream pie recipe.

There’s a lot to love about this peach pie. Firstly, besides the fresh peaches and cream cheese, you probably have the rest of the ingredients at home right now: sugar, cornstarch, an egg, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Secondly, it’s really easy to make. We use an unbaked pie shell so there’s no pre-baking needed. Then we start with a layer of fresh peaches before mixing the dry ingredients, the wet ingredients, and the wet and dry together. All that’s left to do is bake the pie for an hour and add the whipped topping once it’s cooled.

I just know you’re going to love the combination of the flaky pie crust, creamy cinnamon-spiced pie filling, juicy peaches, and refreshing whipped cream. This is a lovely light dessert that’s perfect for your next summer gathering. Here are some more summer pie recipes I love as well. Alright, who’s ready to bake a delicious peaches and cream pie?

Storage

Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Because of the whipped topping, I don’t recommend freezing the pie.

Recipe Notes

  • Go ahead and use your favorite pie crust, whether that’s a store-bought pie shell, a homemade pie crust, or a graham cracker crust.
  • If you want to add more flavor to your cream cheese filling, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg as well. It’s the perfect complement to the cinnamon.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use canned peaches or frozen peaches?

In a pinch, you can definitely use canned peaches or frozen peaches. You’ll need about 3 cups. Just ensure they’re thawed and well-drained.

  1. For years I have been giving a peaches and cream pie to my very helpful neighbor as a thank-you. I always purchased at a local bakery, but they are no longer making. I’m so happy to see this recipe…I know she will love it!

  2. Making peaches and cream pie for the first time and have 12 more minutes and the top of the pie looks really brown. Do i tent with foil?

  3. Would this pie need to be refrigerated? I ask because it would be a great pie for 4-Hers to make and enter, but not if it needs refrigerated. Thanks!
