    Peach Cream Pie with Almonds

    This old fashioned Peach Cream Pie recipe is made with fresh peaches, a sweet cream filling and topped with sliced almonds. A very beautiful and easy pie!

    I recently acquired a collection of recipe books called "Women's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery." There are 23 books all together and were originally published in 1966. I have the 1979 editions and am currently going through volume 1.

    There are so many interesting recipes in these books. This Peach Cream Pie with Almonds was the first one I tried. This recipe is just perfect for this time of the year as peaches are perfectly ripe.

    What Ingredients do I need to make this Peach Cream Pie?

    • Pie Crust - You will need pastry for a 1 crust 9-inch pie. I halved the pie pastry from this recipe. You can also use a ready-made pie crust
    • Sliced Peaches - fresh is best for this dish. Frozen peaches are too watery
    • Sugar - for sweetness
    • Flour - a bit of all purpose flour helps firm up the filling
    • Nutmeg - because it pairs so well with peaches!
    • Whipping Cream - you can also use ½ cup milk and ½ cup whipping cream if you would like to lighten the recipe.
    • Sliced Almonds - they give a nice crunchy texture to the dish and also look so pretty scattered on top!

    Peach Cream Pie with Almonds

    Yield: 8 slices
    Prep Time: 30 minutes
    Cook Time: 40 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

    This old fashioned Peach Cream Pie recipe is made with fresh peaches, a sweet cream filling and topped with sliced almonds. A very beautiful and easy pie!

    Ingredients

    • 1 pie shell or pastry for a 1 crust 9-inch pie
    • 3 ½ cups (338g) fresh peaches, sliced
    • ⅔ cup (135g) granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup (32g) all purpose flour
    • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1 cup (250l) whipping cream
    • ¼ cup (30g) almonds, sliced and blanched

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare pie shell by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with baking weights ( I use dried beans).
    2. Par bake the pie shell for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 10 minutes.
    3. Remove the pie shell from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Turn the oven heat up to 400°F.
    4. Combine the peaches, sugar, flour and nutmeg in a bowl. Pour into the pie shell and pour the whipping cream over the peaches.
    5. Bake for 35 minutes, remove pie from the oven and sprinkle top with almonds. Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the almonds are lightly browned.
    6. Let the pie cool completely so that the cream sets. Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Notes

    1. You can substitute the peaches for other fruits (plums or berries).
    2. I suggest using fresh peaches rather than frozen as they tend to have a lot of water to them.
    3. You can lighten the amount of calories in the cream by using ½ cup whipping cream and ½ cup homogenized (3.25%) milk instead of 1 cup whipping cream.
