Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 single pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
For the Filling:
- 5 medium fresh peaches (about 1½ 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:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out your pie dough to fit your pie plate, with a slight overhang.
- Transfer the dough to the pie plate, trim the edges, and crimp as desired.
Prepare the Filling:
- Peel the peaches and slice them about ½ inch thick.
- Arrange the peach slices in the pie crust, starting from the outside and working your way toward the center.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, sugar, flour, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour this custard mixture evenly over the peaches.
First Bake:
- Bake the pie for 30 minutes, or until the custard is just beginning to set.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping.
Make the Streusel:
- In a medium bowl, cut the cold butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar until well combined.
Finish Baking:
- After the initial 30 minutes of baking, remove the pie from the oven.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the center of the pie (consider using a pie shield to protect the crust edges from burning).
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 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.
