Aunt Elva’s Famous No-Bake Peach Pie

My dad’s aunt was known for her fresh no-bake peach pie recipe. It is so easy to make and delicious! Peaches are one of my favorite fruits as they are deliciously sweet and juicy.  I am happy I get to share Aunt Elva’s Famous No-Bake Peach Pie with you.

A key to making this as good as it can get is to use ripe peaches. 

Some of the best ways to pick ripe peaches out are:

1- Pay attention to color. Ripe peaches have vibrant tones all over (with the exception of where a leaf may have shielded the sun and near the stem).

2- Smell. They should be fragrant and smell like a ripe peach.

3- Texture. Ripe peaches are soft and should squeeze easily at the shoulder (by the stem). Tennisball hard peaches can ripen in around a week. Baseball hard peaches may take weeks to ripen and may have been picked too early. 

4- Skin. If they are too wrinkly they are over ripe and starting to dry out.

Directions

Slice 3 large peaches into 2 cooked pie shells (or graham cracker crusts)

Mash 2 more peaches into a saucepan and add:

1 Cup Sugar

3 Tablespoons Cornstarch

1/2 Cup water

Boil for 3-5 minutes until thick. Remove from heat.

Add 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring or vanilla (I always use Mexican vanilla extract—it’s seriously the best!),

Add 1 Tablespoon butter 

Pour over peaches in the two pie shells.

Chill for at least an hour.

Serve with sweetened whipped cream:

1 Cup heavy Whipping cream

1/4-1/2 Cup sugar (depending on taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla (I always use Mexican vanilla extract—it’s seriously the best!),

Mix whipping cream ingredients in a mixer until soft peaks form.

Enjoy!

 

I hope you enjoy Aunt Elva’s Famous Fresh Peach Pie as much as I do.
