White Peach Pie requires fresh white peaches, all-purpose flour, cold butter, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla and almond extracts. The distinctive flavour comes from the combination of white peaches with almond extract, while cornstarch ensures a perfectly set filling.
Learn how to cook White Peach Pie by first making a buttery pastry with cold ingredients, then preparing a filling with fresh white peaches (partially pre-cooked to prevent sogginess). Create a stunning lattice top, brush with egg wash, and bake until golden. The key techniques include proper chilling of the dough and allowing the baked pie to cool completely before slicing.
A lattice crust isn't just decorative—it serves a practical purpose. The open design allows excess moisture to evaporate during baking, preventing a soggy bottom crust. It also creates a beautiful window to showcase the colourful filling while allowing the filling to caramelise slightly for enhanced flavour.
Pre-cook about 1/3 of the peaches to create a thick, jammy base that helps seal the bottom crust. Baking on a preheated baking sheet conducts heat directly to the bottom crust for proper cooking. Also, use cornstarch as a thickener and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing.
Yes, you can substitute yellow peaches, but the flavour profile will change. White peaches offer a delicate, floral sweetness with lower acidity, while yellow peaches provide a more robust, tangy flavour. If using yellow peaches, consider reducing the lemon juice slightly to balance the natural acidity.
