This fresh peach pie is deliciously spiced. It’s made with fresh farmers market peaches, topped with whipped topping or served warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream. You can’t ask for more than that on a beautiful summer day!
Fresh Farmers Market Peaches
Peach season is here! This is the time when we can actually get fresh peaches that don’t require a lot of ripening on the counter. You can smell the peaches as you pull into the Farmer’s Market. It’s joyous!
I used spices that I like from our pantry when making peach pie. Feel free to use allspice or nutmeg, if you prefer it over the spices I’ve used. ½ teaspoon of each is fine, but I really, really like cinnamon so I’ve doubled it.

Ceylon Cinnamon vs. Cassia
We like to use real cinnamon, ceylon cinnamon, instead of cassia. If you’re using cassia, you may want to reduce the quantity of it by half in the recipe because cassia has a bitter aftertaste that you won’t find in ceylon cinnamon.
Double Pie Crust
I’m not quite ready to try making pie crust and we always have pie crust in the freezer. It makes it so much easier. You can, of course, make your own pie crust, if you prefer.
For this pie, I’ve used a template to make the cut out of the top crust. So easy! There are several different shapes but this one seems the easiest. Don’t forget to dust the crust with flour, top and bottom, to keep it from sticking when using the template.
This is a fantastic invention that makes it so you don’t have to form little bits of foil covers for the crust to prevent burning. It adjusts to fit different pie pan sizes. Just remember to put it on the pie after it’s been in the oven for a little bit otherwise it will dent the pie.
Also, it doesn’t work as well on the pie plate we have that has the build-in handles. Plain round pans work best.
Don’t forget to add whipped topping or vanilla ice cream. Yum!
