Not Your Average Peaches and Cream Pie

Written by on in Dessert

My six year-old niece slept over, and she asked for homemade pancakes for breakfast. Way too much batter later, I was left with a plateful of pancakes trying to figure out what to do with them. Then my aunt asked if I could make a peach pie with my freshly picked peaches. Voila! Leftover pancakes turned into peaches and cream pie!

If you don’t have the same leftovers, feel free to use a store-bought dough.

Ingredients

  • 4 large peaches, thinly sliced

  • 2-3 large pancakes, cut to fit your baking dish (or ready made pie dough)

  • 1 TBS lemon juice

  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar

  • 3/4 cup light cream

  • 3 eggs

  • 3/4 sugar

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grease baking dish with non-sticking cooking spray or butter.
  • Thinly slice peaches. Put in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle the peaches with lemon juice. Then toss the peaches with the brown sugar. Make sure the sugar is evenly disbursed throughout the peaches.
  • My pancakes were super fluffy, so I cut them in half. I placed the pancake so the inner layer was upright in order to soak in the most amount of peach juice and custard.
  • Add the peaches on top of the pancakes or dough.
  • In a bowl, whisk together, light cream, custard, and eggs.
  • Add custard onto top of peaches.
  • Bake pie for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Then lower temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • If the peaches begin to burn before the time is up, cover the pie with aluminum foil.
  • I don’t mind the peach skin. You can certainly remove it. To easily remove it, place the peach in boiling water for 1 minute. Then place in a cold water bath. Peel the skin.
  • You can use less sugar depending on your taste and how sweet your peaches are.
