A slice of summer: No-bake fresh and easy peach pie using just 3-ingredients – including fresh peaches – nestled in a graham cracker crust.
Make a pie. Share it. Make a friend.
Repeat.
Years ago, I made this Fresh and Easy Peach Pie for a new neighbor on my street. We became fast friends. I’ve vowed many times since to ‘make more pie.’
Pie makes people happy. And it’s not just me who thinks so. I recently read the blog of a smart woman who made a whole pie a day; she gave them to friends, supermarket employees and even sad people on the street. Now that’s something to aspire too!
Even if I still haven’t gotten the pie crust thing quite perfected.
Which is why this pie is so perfect: It’s nestled inside a homemade graham cracker crust – which I find way easier than rolled pastry crusts. And having made many, many graham cracker crusts – this one from The New Way to Cook Light cookbook by Cooking Light turns out best: It’s not crumbly, not sticky to work with, and has no-added-sugar.
And my super easy, fresh peach pie filling is pure summer pleasure. It is:
- Filled with fresh peaches
- Low sugar
- No-bake
- Just THREE ingredients
Fresh and Easy Peach Pie
A slice of summer: 3-ingredient, no-bake peach pie using fresh peaches in a graham cracker crust.
- Yield: 8 slices 1x
Ingredients
- Homemade graham cracker crust (I used Graham Cracker Crust from Cooking Light Magazine)
- 6 cups sliced peaches (unpeeled) – about 6-7 large peaches
- 1/2 cup sugar (add a bit more if your peaches aren’t super sweet)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare graham cracker crust according to recipe instructions.
- For filling, puree 1 heaping cup peaches and 1/2 cup water in blender. Then add water to blender until puree equals 1 1/2 cups.
- In a medium saucepan, stir together sugar and cornstarch; mix in blended peach puree. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook, stirring 2 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes without stirring.
- Spread about 1/3 cup peach puree over bottom of pie crust. Arrange remaining sliced peaches in circular pattern around bottom of pie crust. Carefully spoon remaining puree over fruit covering each piece. Chill 1-2 hours.
Do you make pie? Have you mastered the pastry pie crust?

Ha! Fun to eat because if you just can’t wait until it chills – it ends up looking very unlike a slice of pie. But it still tastes very delicious. You totally busted me Lydia – because I couldn’t wait to chill before taking the photo AND tasting! (:
peach pie is one of my favs!!! So good!

And it has the aroma of summer too Tara. I just love how peaches are so fragrant. And this pie doesn’t disappoint in taste or smell departments!
Ohhhhh….peach pie is my FAVORITE! This looks fantastic.

I absolutely love fresh summer peaches…they are one of my favorite fruits of the whole year! This pie looks perfect…graham cracker crust and all! I definitely believe in the rule of “make more pie”! 🙂

Thanks David. I know – I gotta write this down now so I remember a New Years Resolution of ‘make more pie’!
Your pie is so easy! I’m waiting for seasonal New England peaches and then I’m trying this recipe! Gorgeous.

What? New England peaches? HOw did I miss those while living in Boston for 9 years? Guess I must get back to visit in peach season!
You had me at “just 3 ingredients!” oh and any pie with peaches is my favorite!!
It’s amazing how these simple ingredients turn into summer in a crust. Thanks Katie!
This looks so lovely, simple and summery! Love love peach pie. Definitely going to try this one.

I don’t think better advice has ever been given, Serena! I am totally bookmarking this recipe … and the recipe for the crust too … and then I’m making this for my peach pie-loving dad! Thanks so much!

Your dad and my dad are both peach pie lovers. Wish I were close enough to make my dad a pie. Sure hope you can!
So easy! And graham cracker pie crust is the only pie crust that needs to exist, in my opinion 🙂
Ummm, you read my mind (see the previous comment!) I’m not a big fan of making pie crust (mostly because I stink at making it!) But I do like to eat pie crust.
Sounds so good Serena. I would prefer a regular crust though. I am working on my large batch prep pie crust recipe from an Amish lady’s in Iowa.
Now THAT is a good idea! Since I don’t really like making pie crust, I might, if I could make a big batch at once and keep in the freezer. Now that it’s summer fruit season, it’s a great time to have pie crust on hand. Sue, do you freeze the pie crusts once made?
