Homemade Peach Custard Pie Recipe and Streusel Topping
A tender, pre-baked pie crust holds a silky egg-yolk custard layered with juicy peach slices and finished with a sweet, buttery streusel topping. This American dessert balances rich custard and light fruit, perfect for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.
Ingredients
- Store-bought 9-inch pie crust
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 containers (6 oz each) peach-flavored yogurt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup (approx 55g) all-purpose flour for streusel
- 1/4 cup (45g) granulated sugar for streusel
- 1/3 cup (60g) unsalted butter for streusel
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
- Roll out pie crust and press into a 9-inch pie dish
- Prick the crust with a fork to prevent puffing and line with parchment paper
- Fill crust with pie weights or dried beans and bake until golden (15-20 minutes)
- Let crust cool slightly
- In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, yogurt, sugar, flour, and vanilla until smooth
- Arrange peach slices or chunks in the pre-baked crust
- Pour custard mixture over peaches, smoothing the top
- Mix streusel by combining flour, sugar, and cubed butter in a small bowl
- Press streusel mixture evenly over custard
- Return pie to oven and bake 25-30 minutes until custard sets and streusel is golden
- Cool completely before serving
Notes
Substitute cornstarch for flour in custard if desired
Use fresh peaches in early seasons, canned peaches in late seasons
