The pure sweet taste of ripe peaches really shines in this iconic dessert. It’s delicious on its own but even better served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Perfect Peach Pie Recipe
Serious Eats / Lauren Weisenthal
Local peaches are truly perfect: they are juicy sweet and surprisingly fragrant. Few things can beat the taste of a perfectly sun-ripened peach except buttery peach pie especially when served with ice cream.
When selecting peaches for pie choose those with darker skin and bright yellow-orange flesh. These peaches are commonly known as “yellow peaches” and Reliance and Sweet Scarlet are the most common varieties. They have the best balance of acidity and sweetness for pie as opposed to “white peach” varieties that tend toward the sweet and mild (these are great raw but a bit too sweet for baking). For the perfect pie filling make sure you buy peaches at the peak of ripeness; the skin should bruise easily with the lightest amount of pressure.
