This Fresh Peach and Raspberry Pie combines the sweetness of summer peaches with the tartness of ripe raspberries all wrapped up in a buttery flaky pie crust. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect seasonal dessert.
The filling has a little cornstarch added to it to thicken it, along with a little almond extract for flavor. Otherwise, it's basically just peaches, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice which keeps the flavors strong and fresh.

Peach and Raspberry Pie
I love making this Raspberry Peach Pie because itโs got it allโfresh peaches, red juicy raspberries, a Homemade Flaky Pie Crust, and a perfect spot right on top for a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Itโs basically Peach Melba in pie form, and we are a-ok with that!
Try mixing and matching different stone fruits and berries, or even adding in tropical fruits like mangoes to make this all year round. If you want to make it a completely no-bake pie you could also substitute this Graham Cracker Pie Crust, Gingersnap Pie Crust, or Nilla Wafer Pie Crust and call it a day.
Key Ingredients
Homemade Pie Crust
- Crisco - Crisco works great because it doesnโt melt as easily as butter. But, you can absolutely substitute cold butter if youโd prefer.
- Water - use super cold water to keep the dough as cool as possible. You can even add ice cubes to the water (just donโt add the ice cubes into the dough).
- Egg Wash and Sugar - applying an egg wash to the dough gives it a little shine and keeps the crust nice and crisp. You donโt need much - just an egg and a tablespoon of water. We like to finish off with a sprinkle of sugar, too.
Peach and Raspberry Pie Filling
- Peaches - ideally you would want to choose ripe, yellow peaches that are free of brown spots, super fragrant and roughly the same size. If you canโt find them ripe, store them in a brown bag at room temperature for a couple of days to ripen them the quickest.
- Raspberries - try and find fresh raspberries that are firm and super sweet.
- Lemon Juice - use fresh squeezed lemon juice for this recipe.
- Cornstarch - this helps to thicken the filling which holds it in the shells and keeps it from getting soggy.
- Butter - this will melt best if you cut it into chunks.
- Almond Extract - just a tiny bit of almond extract really enhances the peach flavor.
How to Make Fresh Peach and Raspberry Pie
- Make the pie dough. See our post on Homemade Flaky Pie Crust for detailed instructions on how to mix, roll and shape your own dough.
- Line the pie dish. Carefully line a pie plate with the rolled dough then fold the edges under and pinch the edges of the dough to make a decorative edge. Prick the edges and bottom of the pie crust with a fork, about 2 inches apart.
- Blind bake the crust. Line with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with ceramic pie beads or dry beans. Bake the prepared pie crust in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
- Prepare the peaches. In a medium mixing bowl, add the peeled and sliced peaches and sprinkle with sugar. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature, then drain the peaches and reserve the juices.
- Make the fresh peach and raspberry filling. Put the reserved juices into a measuring cup and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and enough water to equal 1 cup of liquid, then add it all to a medium pot. Add the cornstarch and salt into the same pot and whisk until smooth, then heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken. Boil for 30 seconds, then remove sauce from the heat and stir in the butter and almond extract. Whisk until butter is melted and combined, then let cool to room temperature.
- Fill the pie shell. Add the thickened sauce to your fresh peaches and fold together gently with the raspberries. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
- Chill then serve. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the pie and let it come to room temperature before transferring to the fridge to cool for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Top or serve with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
Peach Pie Variations
- Top with a crumble topping. This would taste amazing with a buttery crumble on top. Try using the one from our Blackberry Crumble Bars, baking it on a sheet tray and letting it cool completely, then topping it just before serving.
- Substitute different fruits. Try mixing and matching similar types of stone fruits and berries such as nectarines and blackberries, or plums and black raspberries. You could also go for a tropical fruit such as mangos - yum!
- Add spices. The filling would taste excellent with a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg or ground ginger.
- Use brown sugar. Instead of granulated sugar, try using brown sugar in this recipe. Toss in a splash of bourbon for good measure if youโd like!

- ยฝ teaspoon Salt
- 4 oz Crisco or butter
- ยผ cup Water cold
Peach and Raspberry Pie Filling

Instructions
Basic Pie Crust
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the four and salt. Add the Crisco (or cold butter) and use your fingers to combine. Once the mixture resembles coarse meal, make a well in the center and add the water.
- Carefully bring the flour mixture from the sides of the bowl into the center with the water and gently mix until combined and the flour is all moistened. Do not overmix or knead!
- Form the dough into a flat disc andwrap in plastic, let rest in the cooler for about 30 minutes - 1 hour. Note: if you donโt have time, donโt worry about chilling the dough.ย Itโs a good practice, but not 100% necessary with this recipe.
- Once the dough has rested, remove from the plastic wrap and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin, start in the middle of the dough and roll outwards to make a circle. Roll into an evenly thick round circle large enough for the dough to hang over your pie plate at least ยฝ".
- Carefully line a pie plate with the rolled dough then fold the edges under and pinch the edges of the dough to make a decorative edge. Prick the edges and bottom of the pie crust with a fork, about 2 inches apart, then line with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with ceramic pie beads or dry beans.
- Bake the prepared pie crust in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
