6 steps
Prepare the Peach Filling
In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the peaches to release some juices.Fill the Pie Crust
Pour the peach mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Make sure not to overfill, as the mixture may bubble over while baking.Bake the Pie
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes until the peaches are bubbly and the crust is golden.
Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.Cool the Pie
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack.
Cooling helps the filling set properly.Prepare the Cream Topping
In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Add almond extract if using.
Don't overbeat the cream; soft peaks are ideal for topping.Serve the Pie
Slice the cooled pie and serve each piece with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with peach slices for an extra touch!
