Enjoy the sweet, juicy goodness of homemade peach pie! This classic dessert, bursting with ripe peaches and a flaky crust, is best savored fresh but can be stored to extend its delightful flavor. Proper storage ensures you can enjoy every delicious slice.

Storage Time

3–4 days loosely covered in the refrigerator; up to 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store homemade peach pie loosely covered in the refrigerator at 0–4°C (32–40°F). Commercially baked pies may have different storage recommendations on their packaging.

Freezing

Peach pie freezes beautifully, preserving its delicious fruity filling and buttery crust. For best results, ensure the pie is completely cooled. Wrap the entire pie tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container. To thaw, remove from the freezer and let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat gently in a low oven (around 150°C/300°F) for about 15-20 minutes to restore crispness to the crust. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust, making it a bit softer.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the crust or filling.
• A sour or fermented smell emanating from the pie.
• A slimy or mushy texture in the peach filling.
