Peach Pies in a Jar

  • Prep 30 min
  • Total 1 hr 5 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count)
  • 4 large, ripe (but not mushy) peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or ground instant tapioca)
  • Sugar for top of pies (turbinado, or raw sugar, works well for this)
  • Toppings as desired
  • 4 (4 oz) wide-mouth canning jars

Steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400° F. Allow pie crusts to sit at room temperature 10 minutes before using. Meanwhile, clean and dry the jars. Unroll the first crust on a cutting board and cut into quarters. Fit one quarter into each of the jars, pressing crust to fit up sides and along bottom of each jar.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, combine peach slices, sugar, lemon juice, salt, vanilla, cornstarch and nutmeg (optional). Let sit 5 to 10 minutes until peaches are juicy.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, cut 4 circles from the second crust, each approximately the same size as the mouth of the jars. Cut each circle into strips.
  • 4
    Using your fingers, place peach slices into the jars, layering to fit as many as possible in each. Spoon a Tbsp of the liquid from the bowl over the peaches in each jar.
  • 5
    Using the lattice pie crust technique (weaving basket-style), add strips to top of pies. Gently wet the strips and sprinkle with sugar.
  • 6
    Place jar-pies on a baking sheet and place in preheated 400° F oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° F and bake and additional 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pies to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.

  • Whipped cream dusted with nutmeg or cinnamon, cinnamon ice cream, vanilla bean ice cream, peach syrup, or mashed berries.
  • The canning-jar covers can be used to transport these pies to a picnic or potluck!
