Description

This heavenly peach custard pie showcases summer’s most beloved fruit in a creamy, tangy custard topped with a buttery crumb topping. Perfect for gatherings or a special family dessert!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 single pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the Filling:

  • 5 medium fresh peaches (about pounds)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Streusel Topping:

  • ¼ cup butter (½ stick), cold
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Roll out your pie dough to fit your pie plate, with a slight overhang.
  3. Transfer the dough to the pie plate, trim the edges, and crimp as desired.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Peel the peaches and slice them about ½ inch thick.
  2. Arrange the peach slices in the pie crust, starting from the outside and working your way toward the center.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, sugar, flour, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour this custard mixture evenly over the peaches.

First Bake:

  1. Bake the pie for 30 minutes, or until the custard is just beginning to set.
  2. While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping.

Make the Streusel:

  1. In a medium bowl, cut the cold butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in the sugar until well combined.

Finish Baking:

  1. After the initial 30 minutes of baking, remove the pie from the oven.
  2. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the center of the pie (consider using a pie shield to protect the crust edges from burning).
  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least one hour before serving.

Serve:

Enjoy warm with a dollop of freshly whipped cream (unsweetened) or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Using Canned Peaches: Substitute 2 cans of sliced peaches, well drained.
  • Using Frozen Peaches: Substitute 20 oz of frozen peach slices, thawed to room temperature and well drained.
  • Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving or warm slightly in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Enjoy this perfect celebration of summer peaches!
