Ingredient List

- Fresh peaches
Yep, that's it. Just 3 ingredients will create one of the most delicious desserts you've ever tasted. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is optional, but highly recommended.
Can I Make Substitutions?
You can substitute everything in this recipe if you want, but the taste will be different. For best results, it pays to stick to the recipe. I've been known to make it with canned peaches in a pinch, but it's definitely not as good.
If you want to switch up the type of jam, that's perfectly fine. I've used apricot preserves and orange marmalade, but I like peach jam the best.
Just make sure you use jam or preserves and not jelly. Jam is thicker and has less fluid in it, which is what you need to hold the peaches together. Add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to thicken the juice and stir well until it dissolves.
Instructions
ROLL OUT THE DOUGH: Start by rolling out a refrigerated pie crust until it's large enough to fit in the bottom of a pie plate. Leave a 2 inch overlap on top.
ADD CORNSTARCH: Stir the peach jam and spoon it onto the refrigerated dough. Add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch and stir well.
SLICE PEACHES: Thinly slice the peaches as shown in the photograph above. Overlap them on top of the jam. Make any pattern you want, or follow mine to create a circular design from the outside in.
FOLD CRUST OVER EDGES: Fold over the edges of the crust onto the peaches, leaving a large area open in the middle. Technically, this recipe is a crostata, which is basically an open faced pie. But, you can call it amazing if you like. 🙂
BRUSH CRUST WITH BUTTER: Brush exposed edges of crust with butter and bake at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
LET IT COOL: Allow the pie to cool until it thickens, then serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and watch as the smiles appear on everyone's face. This is a great recipe to make with kids! Children love to help bake this easy treat.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is more like a cobbler so plan to serve it with a spoon and dip it into bowls with a scoop of ice cream on top.
For best results, let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes so it will thicken.

Recipe Card
Three Ingredient Peach Pie
*See notes in blog post for detailed tips, photos and instructions.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 cup peach jam or preserves (add cornstarch to thicken)
- 6 fresh peaches (leave peelings on)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Roll out refrigerated pie crust to make it large enough to fit in the bottom of a pie plate and leave a 2 inch overlap on top.
- Place pie crust in bottom of pie plate.
- For a thicker filling, mix peach jam with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until it it is your desired consistency. Spread jam on pie crust.
- Thinly slice 6 fresh peaches in half moon shape.
- Arrange slices in a circular pattern on top of jam. Start on the outside and press into jam as you go. Finish with another circular pattern in the middle.
- Fold 2 inch overlap over peaches, leaving a large area open in the middle.
- Brush pie crust with melted butter. Dust with sugar if desired.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool pie completely before serving so it has time to set.
Notes
- Make sure the type of jam used is very thick. If it isn't thick the pie will be runny. To prevent this, stir in a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to the jam before spreading on the pie crust.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
- Since this pie has a cobbler consistency, it's easier to serve it with a spoon instead of cutting a slice.

I have made this a couple of times. I need to bake for at least 40 min. After 20 min the bottom of the crust isn’t cooked. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
HI Marj. Are you using a refrigerated pie crust? If so, what brand? Some brands cook faster than others.
Easy and so good! I made this for my husband for Father’s Day and he loved it.
I'm so glad to hear you loved my peach pie recipe Sharon! Great that your husband enjoyed it for Father's Day!
Meant to ask, did you par bake the crust?
Thanks Dave. No, I didn't. You certainly could, but I didn't have any issues not doing a blind bake.
This is the easiest pie I've ever made. I've never thought about using jam in a pie before, but this turned out great. I took your advice and let it cool completely so it would set up before slicing.
Good deal! Just curious...what jam did you use?
AMAAAZZZING...where do I get that great ceramic pie dish????
Thank you! The dish came from my local TJ Maxx store! My favorite place to shop...
How do you slice the peaches. In half moons or full circle slices? Looks delicious will definitely try it.
I slice them in half moons! 🙂
Can you cook it in a crust in the pan the frozen crust came in?
Hi Kate. Great question! Yes, if your crust includes a pan you can bake it in that crust. Even easier! 🙂
Just perfect for summer, quick, delicious and easy, 😋
Thanks, Anastasia! 🙂
