Peach Custard Pie
The most delicious custard peach pie recipe which uses Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
Ingredients
Pie / Filling
- 1 pie crust pastry single (half of recipe below)
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt labne or sour cream
- 3 egg yolks large
- ¾ cup sugar
- 5 peaches about 1 1/2 lbs (see notes for can/frozen peaches) or about 5 medium sized peaches
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
Streusel Topping
- ¼ cup butter ½ stick
- ⅓ cup flour
- ⅛ cup sugar
Instructions
- Oven temperature 425ºF (220ºC)
MAKE THE PIE CRUST:
- After making the pie crust from the directions HERE, roll it out to just a bit larger than the pie plate and place on top.
- Trim the edge.
- Crimp the edges as desired (I pinch with a thumb and forefinger.)
ASSEMBLE THE PIE:
- Next, peel and slice (1/2") the peaches and place them over the bottom of the pie crust until all the peaches are used.
- With a whisk or fork, beat together the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, flour, sugar and vanilla until blended and pour over peaches.
BAKE THE PIE:
- Bake pie for 30 minutes or until custard is just beginning to set.
- Meanwhile, make streusel topping by cutting butter into the flour and then continue with your hands until the mixture looks like crumbs; mix in the sugar. (For more detailed directions read here.)
- After 30 minutes, remove the pie from the oven, and evenly sprinkle the streusel over the center of the pie.(The pie crust shield is great to stop crusts from burning.)
- Bake for 15 more minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie, comes out clean.
- Cool pie on wire rack for an hour; serve warm.
Notes
- Instead of fresh peaches, you may use 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained, OR 20 oz of frozen peach slices, defrosted, drained and at room temperature.
- You can substitute sour cream for the Greek yogurt as it was used in the original recipe.
- You can substitute other fruit like rhubarb, blueberries, cherries or nectarines.
