Ingredients
- For the Pie Crust:
- 1 single pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 egg yolks
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
- For the Streusel Topping:
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the crust with a fork, line it with foil, and weigh it down with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let the crust cool slightly.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, sour cream, egg yolks, flour, and almond extract until smooth. Gently fold in the sliced peaches.
- Bake the Filling: Pour the peach mixture into the cooled crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges of the pie are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
- Add the Streusel Topping: After the pie has baked, sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top and return it to the oven. Bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the streusel is golden brown.
- Cool and Chill: Let the pie cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow it to set.
Notes
- Variations: Use nectarines, plums, or a berry mix for a twist on the classic peach flavor. Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra texture. Experiment with nutmeg or ginger for a warm, spiced flavor. Use a gluten-free pie crust and substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This pie also freezes well; wrap it tightly and store for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving. Reheat by microwaving individual slices for 15-20 seconds or heat the entire pie at 350°F for 10 minutes.
