I made this vegan peach pie for my family’s Fourth of July barbecue last month. The peaches made the kitchen smell like summer, and my dad said it was better than the version he grew up with.
The recipe is simple and allows for variation, letting you incorporate other fruits or spices as desired. Enjoy this delicious vegan dessert warm or cold, and serve it with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream for a refreshing treat.
Delicious Summer Vegan Peach Pie
This vegan peach pie features juicy, ripe peaches mixed with a hint of cinnamon and sugar, all nestled in a homemade vegan crust. The pie takes about 1 hour and serves 8 people, making it a perfect addition to your summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, adjust to taste
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
- 1 pre-made vegan pie crust
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk for brushing
- 1 tablespoon extra sugar for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the peaches evenly and let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to develop.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Assemble the Pie: Place one of your vegan pie crusts into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the peach filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot with melted vegan butter.
- Top the Pie: Place the second crust over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with non-dairy milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vegan ice cream.

I keep the pie at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to four days. The peaches stay juicy, and I let slices come to room temperature before serving.
