The perfect peach pie for any occasion. This Sour Cream Peach Pie has a sour cream and peach based filling that is topped with lots of streusel topping.
I’m definitely a fan of a pie with a streusel topping – like this Sour Cream Peach Pie! You can also try this Strawberry Crumble Pie or this Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie.
Sour Cream Peach Pie
If you’ve been following me for awhile, you will know that I am a little bit obsessed with peach season. Without a doubt, peaches are the produce that I most look forward to every year. I cannot get enough of them. Last year, I did a whole peach themed week, and even though I don’t have that many peach recipes for you this year, you will definitely be getting a few of them.
Starting with this pie. You see, I had been craving a peach pie for weeks. Weeks before I saw any of the beautiful Utah peaches hit the stands. So you can bet that one of the first things I did when I did get my hands on some peaches was make a pie!
I didn’t want to go with a straight up peach pie. I wanted to change it up a little bit, but to still keep true to a peach pie so that the peach flavor would shine. And I immediately thought of one of my all-time favorite pies – Sour Cream Apple Pie. I had never had a sour cream peach pie, but I know they are fairly common, so I thought I’d give it a try.
And let me tell you – my beloved apple pie might have a contender for my favorite pie. This pie was so good. So good. So good, in fact, that my husband and I polished it off in 3 days. By ourselves. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I was sad to see the empty pan in the sink. I’m pretty sure that this pie will become a yearly favorite in our house!
This Sour Cream Peach Pie is sure to become a favorite of yours, too!
What You’ll Need
This pie is pretty straight forward. Here is what you’ll need:
- Pie Crust – this one is my favorite.
- Sugar – Regular, granulated sugar is what you’ll need.
- Sour Cream – I use full fat for this pie.
- Egg Yolks – Go ahead and save those egg whites for something else – like this Pavlova.
- Flour – I use unbleached white flour.
- Almond Extract – you can use vanilla if you have an allergy, but the almond extract really makes this pie special.
- Peaches – You want them peeled and sliced. Make sure they are ripe for maximum flavor.
- Sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter – for the streusel topping. These are pretty typical ingredients.

Description
The perfect peach pie for any occasion. A sour cream and peach based filling is topped with lots of streusel topping.
Ingredients
- 1 single pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
Streusel Topping
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Roll out the crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Prick generously with a fork. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray and place over the crust and weight with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and the foil and return the crust to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. Remove.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the sugar, sour cream, egg yolks, flour and almond extract. Fold in the peaches. Pour the filling into the pie crust and return to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, add the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until it resembles pea-sized pieces or smaller.
- Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the streusel topping over it evenly. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-20 minutes, or until the topping is browned. If needed, cover the edges of the pie with foil to prevent over-browning.

I am with you on loving peach season. I picked so many from a local farm and I already am down to one. I need to stock up again before it’s too late! Love this pie. I just finished off the peach pie I made. Guess I have even more reason to get more peaches now 😉

WHOA! This looks incredible!
Kelli Nehl says
The pie was just half a flop. It ended up super runny so I don’t know if it needs to bake more, or if my peaches were just too juicy? We’re still eating it and it’s absolutely DELICIOUS anyways.
Becca from It's Yummi! says
Oh my gorgeousness, Deb! This pie is stunning!
Erika - The Teenage Taste says
Peaches are just fabulous this time of the Summer! I’ve been meaning to tackle a peach pie this Summer so… (I have a bit of a phobia of making homemade pies.)

I made a peaches and cream pie last year that was a little lackluster so now I’m thinking it’s the sour cream that is really necessary to make it pop! Great pie!
Stephanie @ Girl Versus Dough says

sally @ sallys baking addiction says
deborah – nothing, and i mean NOTHING beats peach pie for me. it is , by far, my #1 FAVORITE dessert. And no one makes it like my mom. HOWEVER, just looking at these pictures and the recipe.. has me thinking you outdid her. Shhh… I’ll never tell! I’ll have to print out this recipe and bake it with her one time. It’s her favorite too 🙂

What a perfect pie for juicy August peaches!!
Heather of Kitchen Concoctions says
Peach pie positively screams summer! I love this ‘peaches n’ cream’ version!
Chels R. says
Once all of our family in town clears out, I really hope to get back into the kitchen and start baking again. This pie just might have to make an appearance once I’m back at it 🙂
Tracy says
Hi there! This looks amazing! I’m new to baking so I apologize for the novice questions ahead of time.
1) Is the butter cold or room temp?
2) Is it salted or unsalted butter?
3) What size do you cut the peaches into?
Thanks!
Deborah says
@Tracy, I used butter just straight from the fridge. I always use unsalted butter, but if you could use salted for this. You’d just get a little more of a salty taste. And my peaches weren’t huge,and I cut them into probably 8 slices a peach. I’d say they were about 3/4″ to 1″ at the thickest part. Hope this helps!
carrian says
You stinker! Now I’ve got pie on my mind and I should be working out!! Blast!
Flavia says
What a unique and delicious twist on peach pie, Deborah. You simply can’t go wrong with peaches or sour cream–separately or together. Bravissima!
Katrina says
Your pie does look similar to the one I made, which I just found on About.com, but yours sounds better. 😉
After we had a couple pieces of the pie, I forgot to refrigerate the rest of it overnight and my mom and I thought that seemed a little iffy, so we tossed it. I need to make another and I just bought some peaches at a farmers’ market on Saturday.

Peaches & sour cream and pie – mmmm, Deborah, this looks awesome and I bet sooo gooey & moist!
Jamie Cooks It Up! says
Holy cow, that pie looks FANTASTIC! Love peaches and almond extract. Hope you are doing well. 🙂
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I just happened to be eating a peach while reading this post. Yum. Aren’t they the best? So sweet and flavorful. I’ve been eating several kilos a week since the season started. I’ll be so bummed when they’re gone!
I love the topping on this. I’m not normally a fan of pie with traditional pie crust, but if it has streusel topping, I’m totally into it. Looks great. 🙂
Colleen @ What's Baking in the Barbershop?! says
This must be delicious if you polished it off in 3 days! It’s a beauty of a pie, that’s for sure!! 🙂
Rosa says
