How to Make a Perfect Peach Pie and Homemade Pie Dough

[@robinmitchell4721]

I'm from Atlanta and I couldn't stop crying. My grandma used to make peach pies like these. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

[@Toad-In-A-Puddle]

Take all the crust trimmings and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake on a tray for 15 minutes...SNACK!

[@dtpugliese318]

I tend to save all my trimmings in the freezer, so after I’ve made enough pies, I have a bonus pie dough to work with for whatever. Sometimes it’s a hodgepodge of different pie dough recipes but it always bakes up pretty good

[@pattuck6096]

Wonderful! Always makes it worthwhile for making pie.

[@cherylanderson3340]

My mom made those & I loved them so much!

[@MikeCheckBiloxi]

SNACK! 😆

[@ChrisD755]

@@cherylanderson3340 Same! Yum!!

[@conradkappel9426]

Thanks guys. I'm a very long time cook who has never made a pie until a couple weeks ago. They were very good using store bough pie dough. Going to my daughter's tomorrow for Thanksgiving and wanted to make my own crust. Tried 2 different recipes by very good KZbin cooks, who will remain nameless. Both attempts were disasters, probably me. But then I saw this recipe for pie crust and gave it a try. It was absolutely perfect. You saved me!

[@ChelseaUSA]

The BEST part of this is that we have MORE! So gorgeous every episode and content! Thank you, All

[@ericawentz2734]

More of these two fantastically talented women together, please! Keep up the great work, ATK Team!!!

[@MossyMozart]

@Erica Wentz - Julia always has a very happy personality and Bridget has a very drool sense of humor which I like. They compliment each other very well.

[@T0beyeus]

So glad to see you both back in the ATK kitchen together!

[@cherylstreeter1962]

My mouth is watering as I write this - oh, thanks so much. Love when you two work together!!!! Best wishes for a great summer from Annandale, Minnesota

[@SandiHooper]

I almost started crying to see you both together again! And to make a pie together was brilliant. Hooray! Love you two

[@sunshinepatsoph4219]

Wow 😒😒😒😒😒

[@maryburak7070]

I use small-pearl tapioca to soak up the excess moisture when making fruit pies.

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Delia Smith taught me to sprinkle the base with a little cornmeal.

[@MossyMozart]

@Mary Burak - Tapioca makes a lovely translucent "peach gravy" in the pie with a nice little background taste.

[@queenbee3647]

I always add a bit of Almond Extract when I cook with peaches.

[@MartinWise-l5n]

OMFG, that piecrust is so easy to work with! Recipe works great for me, thank you

[@diannefitzmaurice9813]

Looks yummy and you have made me want to make a peach pie. Though it seems to me a lot of extra work with the mortar and juices of peaches and washing up . My mother taught me to make it by just slicing the peaches right into the pie crust adding the sugar and then tapioca sprinkled over the peaches .(not tapioca flour just plain tapioca - it soaks up the extra juice but still leaves it juicy. THOUGH NOT A SOGGY BOTTOM.) Put on the lattice and bake.

[@2Hearts3]

Best cooking duo anywhere-- love Bridget and Julia. Thank you for this great video and recipe, as always 🏆👏🥧

[@carolsparks7070]

Mine is in the oven now. It looks beautiful. I had to tweak it a big for the frozen peaches from last year, but the peach filling tasted wonderful. Thank you!

[@isabelchilian2930]

Brigette, the peach pie it looks so good. I will try your technique. Thank you to Julia too you girls are master chefs!! 🤗

[@helengoff9675]

YUM! What a great recipe, thank you Bridget and Julia!

[@krystleroy3068]

I’ve been watching Julia, for a long time now. She always puts a smile on my face.😊

[@dirkwares]

This is the first time I am trying the recipe from a video. I used locally grown peaches, but made my vegan version of pastry (using Crisco). All the steps for the filling were strictly followed. What an amazing pie! It shows why ATK is worth following. Great recipe for the Perfect Peach Pie.

[@curtzeek8818]

try using brown sugar instead of white

[@ce8084]

Again! YUMMO! Thank you! Saved it, so I can make it in my new kitchen! Bless you all.

[@paml2642]

Peach is my very favorite pie! I can’t wait to try your recipe😊

[@GeorgeWTush]

Great episode. Bridget and Julia are working together so very smoothly now. After Voldemort left, there was a transition period, but that's over. These two women are perfectly in sync and working together beautifully. I've no idea if they are really friends or not, but it looks like they are. And that's all the camera requires. Excellent work from everyone involved. Brava, Divas! And, oh yeah, the pie looks good, too.

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Who is Voldemort? Do you mean the older chap who went over the different sugars this episode?

[@musicgirl8152]

Delicious!! 😋😋

[@acearch5ive]

So many helpful hacks. Pie crust technique with double butter is new to me. Love it. Thanks

[@lisacujdik2484]

So happy you’re back! Love you two❤️

[@Proud_Texan]

Just what I was searching for. Thank you so much 💞

[@tomsparks6099]

Amazing methods with education, and the result is stupendous. Can't make just one, though. One for me and one for everyone else to fight over.

Thank you, Brigitte and Julia for the beautiful Video. Looks so yummy 😋mmhm. Blessings fromm Germany 🌹

[@billyfoster3223]

Great dessert by two talented ladies!😀👍

[@SuperTuffgirl]

I make my own brown sugar. 1 cup sugar to 1 TBSP molasses blended with a whisk until it becomes the right texture. It lasts so much longer and so satisfying to make it homemade.

[@marilynsnider8183]

My favorite pie of all time. Thanks for making it.

[@claudiahurlbert3888]

The greatest Pie I ever saw made.

[@sherrylynn3304]

Awesome! I am down for a road trip for peaches! Lol! Happy travels from Virginia.

[@YT4Me57]

Mmmm...I can SMELL that pie. A nice dollop of vanilla ice cream would take it all up a notch! This video reminded me that I could make a quick and easy peach cobbler for Sunday dessert (my grandmother would not have approved). It's just too hot for a lot of fuss in the kitchen.

[@nealtrecartin8788]

I have never made a pie, this looks like it might make me try

[@scarletletter2847]

Lovely recipe and techniques. Thank you

[@RelentlesslyBrave]

Looks amazing! 🤩

[@LeviLens]

It gives people a strong appetite.😎

[@artmajester]

Wonderful presentation.

[@ashleyadams6803]

The pie is beautiful! As a very experienced pie maker I don’t go through all your steps. No measuring crust or the numerous times it is put back to chill. Also don’t mash fruit and cook in a skillet. You have taken what is actually an easy dessert and made it so time consuming many will never try to replicate. Do you actually go through all these steps when you aren’t making a video? Enjoyed watching!

[@cecik5578]

I TOTALLY agree….this is overkill.

[@elstongunn4277]

All of these steps may very well be the difference between the quality of this pie, and yours. But thank you for your considered opinion, Dr. Pie Maker.

[@werthmelissa]

I want a slice of this right now! Too good to resist!

[@Maxbps88]

Mouth-watering. I will be making a peach-pie the first 'free' weekend I get; maybe as dessert with some Hearty Cincinnati Chili.

[@jaynehenderson5240]

Love these two!

[@mercyrn35]

That pie looked award winning! That crust looks closer to perfect than any crust I’ve ever seen.

[@aragregorian6039]

You ladies are fantabulous!

Just a tad more cinnamon for me. It looks delicious though. One of my favorite pies.

[@annehajdu8654]

Love peach pie.

[@blowbubbles72]

I have the biggest anxiety about pie making. Well mostly assembling the dough. Someday I hope to have enough confidence to try. This peach pie was so decadent looking.

[@alexanderivory-brown118]

THIS. WAS. GLORIOUS.

[@davidwelch8288]

Interesting technique. Never tried this with the 3 different ways of adding all the butter. But I'm curious to see how the final result ends up by adding more than usual water because the more water added to flour, the softer the final product will be. Think cookies vs. cake. adding more water to make it "easier to roll out" I would think is not a good reason to sacrifice the end texture. I don't know.. I gotta bake it to see. lol. I'll post another comment after trying it. I do have to add that I have been watching this show and reading the magazine for YEARS and I have learned so much! Thank you!

[@pennyfarting]

This is mostly a guess, but it seems to me like you can get away with adding more water with this method because so much of the flour is coated with fat from that first step of processing the flour and butter into a homogenous paste. Essentially you'll still have a texture that's very pastry-like rather than cakey because that butter is acting like a moisture barrier to seal out the extra liquid and prevent the added water from fully hydrating the flour.

[@skypup77]

Also pouring a hot filling into a cold crust goes against everything ive ever been taught about making pies yet they don't hesitate to do it here.

[@JustAThought155]

Those are indeed some healthy slices of a wonderful peach pie. Yum!

[@DreamCuisineOz]

This is proper cooking. Great to see.

[@goodae09]

I love America’s Test Kitchen … BUT this pie takes ALL DAY to make! 😳

[@noeraldinkabam]

Just made the dough and peeled the peaches. Can’t wait.

Road trip to South Carolina! Peaches are on! You can stay with me and we can bake ANOTHER peach pie😁

[@angelbulldog4934]

Come a little bit north to the Sandhills of North Carolina. Montgomery and Richmond counties. Best beaches ever! I've eaten peaches all across the country and nothing compares to these. Not even Georgia, although the big butt in the sky in Gaffney is very amusing. 😊

[@CassandraSeer]

I make mine with lime juice. I also use leftover pie juice in the bottom of the bowl to spread on the crust before sprinkling with sugar.

[@leester9487]

These ladies are awesome. I think the show has improved greatly since Kimball left.

[@queenbee3647]

Nasty comment. Grow up.

[@mariastenger5179]

Wow! Thank you ,Test kitchen,I wonder if the butter dough for this pie is also good for my yellow juicy mango that I have in my yard so good like almost peach texture.

[@ariree1324]

Gosh that looks yummy🤤

[@czecherst]

For sure, they are a great pair! Did they put that hot filling into the unbaked pie shell?

[@twenty2082]

So I just need to get up at 4 am and I'll be eatin' pie by 5 pm. HAHAHA!!

[@robinbrady1798]

Thank you Looks good

[@anncawthon9183]

Did you allow the cooked peaches to return to room temperature before putting them in the bottom crust?

[@jo-anndigennaro9137]

One of my favorite pies. I'm thinking of making a peach pie.🍑

[@jennigthatonecrazydoglady8100]

For decades I cut my peaches like they showed in the video: vertically around, following the lil booty crack. Prime meridian, longitude style. (Even though she actually called this around the equator in the video.) I forget where I heard this tip but it totally works: cut it horizontally, along the equator. Latitude style. You’ll get the point half of the pit and you can just grab it and twist it and pull it right out. If your peach is ripe it’s like a magic trick!

[@gingerp1601]

Lol, it might've been on of last season's ATK videos! Bridget pitted nectarines for some stone fruit and berry free-form tartlets by cutting them through the equator.

[@jennigthatonecrazydoglady8100]

@@gingerp1601 omg you might be right! ☺️

[@annsmith7207]

Perhaps you would consider adding some baking recipes with Stevia for those who can not eat sugar. Thanks!

[@gingerp1601]

They don't seem to be huge fans of Stevia which they found was bitter in drinks and baked goods and produced dry, crumbly cookies. But a few years ago they did put together an entire cookbook dedicated to baking with less sugar and with sugar substitutes they did like called Naturally Sweet.

[@angelbulldog4934]

@@gingerp1601 Every single sugar substitute is bitter to me. If I ever became diabetic, I suppose I'd have to give up sweets altogether. I just can't manage.

And they forgot about sanding and Shimmer sugar. Shimmer sugar is those large white crystals you see on traditional Bakery muffins.

Looks very delicious, but what I love about peach pie is its simplicity. This is overkill - so many extra steps. I’m happy with granny’s way.

[@ceceliaclifford621]

Could you use clear gel? It doesn't glop like regular cornstarch. It is used in pie fillings for canning

[@josephgaviota]

Mmmmmmmm that looks good!

[@b_uppy]

Never had a peach pie I really liked. Maybe this will do the trick...

[@josephgaviota]

Well, it sure LOOKED good !!

[@angelbulldog4934]

You have to have excellent peaches to start with. Those hard little things in the grocery store won't work. Get to a farmer's market and see if you can find some.

[@b_uppy]

Peach pie does look luscious. We'd use tree ripened ones for canning and freezing so they had the best taste. This was before they stopped u-pick. Nowadays even fruit stand peaches are so so because they pick them greenish. It was that the recipe was dull.

[@laurreneberry3480]

Hmmmm yummy!!!😊🤗

[@theUrbanJoe]

Looks amazing! Rather excruciating process though. Who ever said simple was easy?

[@deborahinman3979]

When you add the last cup of flour, does it have salt or sugar in it?

[@elodiebastard9790]

3 lbs peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/8 tsp salt: macerate peaches @ room temp for an hour.

[@TiffanyYoung-bv2gb]

This definitely not the traditional method for pie crust (that I learned (20 years ago in culinary school anyway…) so I didn’t think it would work. Especially when the dough was so wet. But it’s surprisingly one of flakiest pie crusts I’ve made. Thanks for this new, non traditional method.

[@TiffanyYoung-bv2gb]

If you’re vegan you can use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of butter, (I used my own homemade vegan butter.)

[@catofthecastle1681]

I save those skins for peach juice for tea or to make a wonderful jelly, or with the help of an immersion blender add it to barbecue sauce! It takes the place of some of your brown sugar!

[@danrist4370]

Game changing pie crust recipe. So easy and flaky. Couple of suggestions for the filling. Add 2 ounces of bourbon and kick up the cinnamon.

I like to add a tablespoon of Gran Marnier liqueur to the sliced peaches as they macerate.
