This recipe uses fresh yellow peaches, all-purpose flour, cold butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, and an egg for the wash. The secret is using apple cider vinegar in the crust for tenderness.
Learn how to cook Yellow Peach Pie Recipe by making a butter-flecked pastry dough first, chilling it thoroughly, then preparing peaches by blanching and slicing them. Toss with sugar and spices, fill your rolled-out bottom crust, create a lattice top, and bake at a high temperature initially before lowering to ensure a properly cooked filling and golden crust.
Prevent soggy bottoms by preheating a baking sheet with your oven, placing the pie directly on this hot surface to jumpstart bottom crust cooking. Also, let sliced peaches macerate with sugar to draw out excess moisture, and use enough thickener (cornstarch or arrowroot) to properly set the juices.
The ideal peaches for pie-making are ripe but still firm with a slight give when gently pressed. They should be fragrant and free from bruises. Yellow peaches offer the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, with peak season being July through August in most regions.
The keys to flaky crust are keeping ingredients cold (especially butter), not overworking the dough, incorporating Apple Cider Vinegar to inhibit gluten development, and allowing proper rest time in the refrigerator. Varying sizes of butter pieces create steam pockets during baking for optimal flakiness.
