Ingredients for Amy Vanderbilt S Honey Cream Peach Pie

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

How to Make Amy Vanderbilt S Honey Cream Peach Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare your 9-inch pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour evenly over the bottom crust.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour.
  5. Stir in the honey and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently arrange the sliced peaches over the sugared bottom crust.
  7. Pour the honey cream mixture evenly over the peaches.
  8. Gently toss the peaches to coat them in the mixture (avoid breaking them).
  9. Sprinkle the ground ginger and nutmeg evenly over the top.
  10. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serves 6.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
