What each ingredient does
- Peaches
- Provide the fruit filling, along with sweetness, moisture and flavor as they soften.
- Rich pie crust
- Forms a covering that bakes into a golden, browned top over the fruit.
The step that matters
Bake until the crust is golden brown. Browning comes from dry, hot heat acting on the crust's sugars and proteins. Pulling the pie too early leaves the crust pale and doughy, while leaving it too long can scorch the edges before the crust is cooked through.
