Easy Peach Slab Pie Recipe: A Simple Summer Dessert
Looking for a crowd-pleasing summer dessert that’s both delicious and easy to make? This Easy Peach Slab Pie recipe is your answer! Whether you use homemade or store-bought pie crust, this fruit-filled pie is sure to be a hit at any gathering. The combination of sweet peaches and warm cinnamon creates a flavor that’s simply irresistible.
While I appreciate a good homemade pie crust, sometimes convenience is key, especially during the busy summer months. That’s where store-bought pie dough comes to the rescue, making this recipe even simpler and faster.
Prepare to be amazed by the incredible flavor of this Easy Peach Slab Pie! The filling is a delightful blend of fresh peaches, brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. I guarantee this easy dessert recipe will become your go-to favorite when stone fruit is in season.
My love for the peach-cinnamon combination began with my Easy Peach Turnovers. The spice is subtle, adding a warm depth that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the peaches. It’s a match made in dessert heaven!
If you’re hesitant about peeling a large quantity of peaches, don’t worry! You can absolutely use this recipe without peeling the peaches. The pie will still be delicious, and you’ll save yourself some time and effort.
For those who prefer to peel their peaches, the quickest method involves dropping them into boiling water for about 20 seconds, followed by an immediate transfer to a bowl of ice water. This quick hot-and-cold plunge makes the skins slip right off, leaving you with the juicy fruit you need for your peach slab pie. Be sure to not leave them in the boiling water too long or the peach will start to cook.
The simple blanching method of peeling fruit is easy and convenient and you will want to use it for other recipes too, not just this peach slab pie. You can apply this peeling process to nectarines and plums also!
Once the filling is ready, it’s time to get creative with the top crust! The possibilities are endless. You can use cookie cutters to create fun shapes, go for a classic lattice pattern, or even try a trendy braid. I’ve chosen a lattice design for this recipe, which requires an extra box of store-bought pie dough. To add a touch of sparkle, I’ve topped it with crunchy sanding sugar. But you can use whatever crust option or pattern you prefer to make the peach slab pie how you like!
Making your pie crust unique to your preferences is an easy way to make this recipe your own. Feel free to use cookie cutters of different sizes and shapes. Or, use leftover strips of pie crust to create vines or other patterns to make this dessert pop.
Now, it’s time to bake this beautiful creation. Slide the peach slab pie into the oven and eagerly await its transformation into a golden-brown masterpiece. The aroma filling your kitchen will be simply divine!
This dessert is fairly simple to make, but the result is something truly special. There is nothing like the smell of a fresh peach slab pie baking in the oven! Consider making one today and enjoying with your friends and family. If you are having a large gathering, this is a perfect option.
Once the pie is done, allow it to cool so that it is easy to serve. Then you can cut it into squares or rectangles for each person. It is also easy to transport this pie to other locations because of its shape. All you need is a pan with a cover and you are all set!
Once the peach slab pie emerges from the oven in all its golden-brown glory, the only thing missing is a scoop or two of No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream. With that final touch, your summer dessert spread is complete and ready to impress!
