Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Ingredients:
- 4 peaches, peeled, sliced, and cubed
- 3 eggs
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) whole milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) flour
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Base:
- 1 pie shell (prepared)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature of 350F (175C), creating an ideal baking environment for the delicate custard pie.
- Gently arrange the prepared pie shell on a clean work surface, ensuring it’s ready for filling.
- Combine milk, sugar, eggs, flour, and vanilla extract in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Artfully distribute the freshly sliced and cubed peaches across the pie shell’s base, creating an even layer of juicy fruit.
- Carefully cascade the smooth custard mixture over the peach arrangement, allowing it to settle evenly throughout the pie.
- Transfer the pie to the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for approximately 60 minutes. Watch for a golden-brown surface and a set custard texture, which indicates the pie is perfectly cooked.
- Remove from the oven and permit the pie to cool slightly, allowing the custard to stabilize and the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect custard texture by whisking ingredients thoroughly, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky smooth filling.
- Use ripe, in-season peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor, gently patting them dry to prevent excess moisture in the pie.
- Prevent soggy crust by pre-baking the pie shell for 10 minutes before adding peaches, creating a crisp base that holds up to the custard.
- Customize the pie by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard mixture for a warm, aromatic twist on the classic recipe.
