BEST Fresh Peach Pie Recipe with All Butter Pie Crust (1)

I’m losing my mind right now. It’s officially peach pie season and I can’t get enough. We buy peaches by the bushel to satisfy my cravings and I will literally sit down and eat four peaches in a row, no problem. I’ve been craving peaches for months, basically since September. I’m over the moon happy with the fact that peaches are everywhere now!

Peach season means I get to start making peach pies again. For a few years, I tried to freeze peaches so that we could enjoy peach pies in the dark winter months, but it just wasn’t the same. So here is my first peach pie of the summer made with love and with thankfulness that I have the next few months to indulge in peach goodness. Hello, old friend.

    I think the pie crust recipe is a bit off… it includes apples??? And cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg… Sounds like the recipe for apple pie. 🙂

      Hi Leslie – I can’t say for sure because I’ve never tried, but I suspect it would be ok. Just taste whatever the peaches are packed in, you may need to add less sugar if they are packed in syrup. Let me know how it turns out so I can share that info with my readers!

    Hi Kelly, I just made a peach pie with butter crust….it is the best…
    So you used fresh peaches for this recipe? …mine were fresh, but frozen and I thought they were slightly mushy….

    thanks, Teresa 🙂

    Reply

    • BEST Fresh Peach Pie Recipe with All Butter Pie Crust (28)Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says

      Hi Teresa – I’ve never used frozen fruit so I’m not completely sure. We really only make this with fresh, peak season peaches! My suspicion is the mushiness might be something to do with the freezing process, or maybe they used lower quality fruit for freezing? I highly recommend pinning this recipe and bringing it back out next summer when the peaches are at their best!

    Wow, what a delicious pie! Since I felt challenged making the pie crust, I ordered the pie board you recommended. My husband is raving over how superb this pie is. I can see with the pie board coming soon, I’ll be making pies more often!

      Sally – you made my day! I’m so glad you loved this pie. The pie board is seriously life changing. The more you use it the more flour gets worked into the fabric and the better it works. I just scrape it with a knife when I’m done and only wash it if there are spills!

    Hi! I want to try this for father’s day as the peaches just got ripe! Do you think I could lattice the crust and have it taste/cook the same? I’ve made pies but wanted to try a “fancier” look for him this year. Can’t wait to taste it!

FAQs

Why do you put butter under a pie crust? ›

Butter plays a key role in creating the delicate flakiness of the pie crust, and only if the butter is incorporated correctly and COLD when it goes into the oven.

What is the secret to a good pie crust? ›

Use Very Cold Butter or Fat

Butter, shortening, lard, or suet—whatever fat the recipe calls for should be well-chilled and cut into small pieces to start with for the flakiest crust in the end. The fat in a pie crust must maintain some of its integrity in the dough to make the crust truly flaky.

What does butter do to pies? ›

Once you've rolled out and folded your pie dough, those distinct bits of butter will steam as the dough bakes, creating the pockets of air that puff up into distinct layers. If the butter is too warm, it will combine too well into the flour, making the dough hard to work with and the final crust tough or cracker-like.

Can you add butter to premade pie crust? ›

For a slightly richer tasting crust, brush lightly with melted butter. Refrigerate until firm before filling the crust as desired. Repeat the dusting and rolling process with the second crust, and drape it over the pie filling. Crimp the top and bottom crusts together.

What are the disadvantages of using all butter in pie crust? ›

Despite the great taste of butter, some bakers don't like to use it for pie crusts because it's difficult to handle. “Butter is harder to work with than shortening because it melts at a lower temperature,” Huntsberger said. It can be hard to get a flaky pie crust with butter if the butter isn't handled very carefully.

What are 2 disadvantages of using all butter in pie crust? ›

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using butter in a pie crust? Advantages : excellent flavor and forms distinct flaky layers. Disadvantages: Expensive and butter melts easy bettween 82.5 and 96.8 degrees F. It takes more time to make pastry because it must be refrigerated.

Is pie crust better with butter or Crisco? ›

Butter pie crust has the most flavor out of the three fats. This pie crust bakes up nice and golden brown, with plenty of flaky layers. Butter pie crust is the most sturdy and will support the weight of your favorite pie fillings.

Why add apple cider vinegar to pie crust? ›

The acid in the apple cider vinegar tenderizes the dough by slowing the gluten production in the dough. This prevents it from getting tough and elastic like bread dough. Love me tender. If you've ever bitten into a slice of pie with a tough crust, you know the value in a tender, flaky pie crust.

Should you butter a pie crust? ›

The dough is relatively easy to work with and roll out, and it holds its shape in the oven. The secret lies in using a combination of butter and shortening; butter not only imparts a rich flavor but also contributes to the crust's flakiness, while shortening ensures it maintains its shape and enhances the texture.

Why is my all butter pie crust tough? ›

Tough pie crusts are typically the result of working the dough too much (again, gluten). You don't need to make sure it's a perfectly uniform ball. “As long as the dough is mostly holding together, you don't need to spend a lot of time kneading it,” Susan Reid wrote for King Arthur Baking.

Which butter is best for pies? ›

The higher fat percentage in European butters, like Kerrygold and Plugra, is ideal if you're working with pastries where the quality of your dough is directly effected by the quality of your butter. Both Kerrygold and Plugra scored high when making pie dough and had a luscious mouthfeel when tasted solo.

Should you butter pie crust before baking? ›

Pie and tart doughs have so much butter in them that they almost self-grease as they bake. The butter melts and turns into steam and browns the bottoms making them crispy. If you add more grease into that situation, the texture of your pie crust may change in the oven. So you definitely don't want to overdo it.

How do you elevate a store bought pie crust? ›

Add a sprinkle of sugar: Sprinkling a little bit of sugar over the crust before baking can give it a slightly sweet and caramelized flavor. Experiment with spices: Try adding a pinch of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to the crust before baking to give it a little extra flavor.

Is it OK to have chunks of butter in pie crust? ›

You knead bread dough to develop and stretch the gluten. In pie crust, you don't want gluten to form so you don't want to mix too much and overwork the dough. For a flaky crust, cut the butter so that chunks of butter about the size of walnut halves remain. The chunks of cold butter create the layers in the dough.

How do you keep butter from leaking from pie crust? ›

Keep everything cold.

This helps to stop the butter from melting and means your dough is nice and easy to work with.

What does dot with butter mean? ›

Dot with butter means to literally, place "dots" of butter on top of the filling and under the top crust. This extra step makes the pie's filling a little bit more delicious and rich, but doesn't do much else. Your Grandma did it and you should, too.
