Ingredients
  

Pie crust
  • 1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust store-bought or homemade, unbaked
  • peaches
Peaches and cream filling
  • 4 peaches peeled and sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 3 eggs large
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
Optional crumble topping
  • 0.33 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prepare the crust and peaches
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and press the 9-inch deep-dish pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish.
  2. Arrange the sliced peaches in the unbaked crust so they sit evenly across the bottom.
Make and bake the custard
  1. Whisk together eggs, sugar, sour cream, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth, then pour over the peaches.
  2. If using it, sprinkle the crumble topping over the surface.
  3. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes until the crust begins to set and the filling looks slightly thickened at the edges.
  4. Reduce the oven to 350°F and bake another 30-35 minutes until the custard is set and the crust is golden.
Cool and chill
  1. Cool the pie for 30 minutes so the custard firms up before chilling.
  2. Refrigerate the pie for 2 hours until fully chilled and sliceable.
  3. Serve with whipped cream for a creamy finish.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill until the custard is fully firm (2 hours), then cut with a sharp knife and wipe between slices. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; freeze is not recommended for best texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat sour cream to keep the custard creamy while cutting some calories.
