Captain Jack’s Peach Pie

  4.6 – 22 reviews  • Peach Pie Recipes

Butter and rum… yum. A peach pie that is silky and softly sweet with several different taste layers. My own original recipe, which is our family’s favorite fruit pie.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Additional Time: 1 hr
Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 1 9-inch pie

Ingredients

  1. 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
  2. 1 cup white sugar
  3. ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  4. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  5. ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  6. ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  7. ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  8. ¼ cup butter, melted
  9. 8 fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
  10. 2 tablespoons rum
  11. 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
  2. Press one pie crust into the prepared pie dish.
  3. Mix sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice together in a bowl. Slowly stir butter into the sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Toss peaches and rum together in a separate bowl; add sugar mixture to peaches. Gently toss to coat peaches. Pour peach mixture into pie crust. Top with remaining pie crust; seal the two crust edges together. Cut 4 to 5 slits in the top crust for ventilation. Brush with milk.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); bake until top is golden brown, about 30 more minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pie rest in the oven as it cools, at least 1 hour.

This is the best peach pie I’ve ever made or eaten, even though I forgot to put the butter inside! The only other change I made was to use 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. This is now my go-to peach pie recipe.
Hannah Myers
Great recipe. I only had seven peaches so added a few canned slices to come up with a thick deep dish. I don’t keep alcohol in the house, wish I’d thought to add some rum extract to the melted butter, will do so next time. Yet, loved the spices and flavor either way.
Jennifer Knight
This pie was a hit at my work potluck.
Elizabeth English
I like this version with the rum. It gives it just enough of the flavor and the cardamom and allspice are perfect!
Robert Nelson
I didnt have allspice, cardamom, or rum. I did use walnut toffee bourbon and added a Tbl of honey. This recipe is amazing. It was gone in 2 days. I will definitely make it again and again. Thanks for sharing.

Best Peach Pie I’ve Ever Eaten! Changed recipe a little. I used a lg can of peach halves. Omitted the rum & allspice. Baked a total of 15 minutes at 400 and 45 minutes at 350. It not only looked delicious but tasted so too.

Would love to give this 5 stars, but I did not have rum. Otherwise made as written. The spices make this pie! Best served warm!. So delicious!!! Thanks!! I made this for company everyone loved it so I am making it again for company since I live close to peach orchards. Perfect August dessert!

6.24.18 The rum was lost in the pie, so I won’t bother to add that in the future. I accidentally did an egg wash on the crust (just so used to doing that) instead of brushing with milk, otherwise, followed the recipe which turned out well.
Kim Gibson
Loved the rum and spices flavored–great pie
Elizabeth Johnson
This recipe makes a delicious & beautiful peach pie! I will make it again, but will probably use a little more sugar than the recipe calls for. My family likes it real sweet.
Kim Lopez
First time I made it. I didn’t have enough peaches. Also dairy ready crust was too thick. Made it a second time with one extra peach and used two deep dish frozen crusts thawed. Used exactly the ingredients and didn’t leave on 350 for full 30 minutes and it came out perfect. Not really a flaw in this recipe, I just had to redo it for my first mistakes. Very good. Love it.

We live aboard our boat in Baltimore and this recipe was easy to make and delish! I used Pusser’s Rum (and added a little extra) and fresh farm stand Freestone peaches which made it awesome! I did not have any cardamom so I just added a little nutmeg and extra cinnamon and it worked well. Definitely worth it! YUM
Patricia Ware
Outstanding pie I made it just as the recipe said and people could not stop eating and complimenting. Will keep this one close for peach season.
Sheila Blackburn
Delicious! I used 2 bags of frozen peaches, un-thawed, so it did take longer to bake, but that was to be expected. Great flavor and just enough sweetness. Served this warm w/ a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce~YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Though this is a good recipe, I have found that when it comes to peach pies epescially; that 1/2 a cup white sugar & 1/2 a cup of brown sugar are very vital to the taste of the pie. I ommitted the allspice and the cardamom. I also added a 1/4 more teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1 tsp. vanilla. Fresh peaches are a must. Some people don’t like the taste of nutmeg, if you don’t like it,sub with the cardamom, allspice or just omitt it. Hope this helps.
Linda Davis
Very very good. Will make my own crust next time … it deserves that!
Kenneth Bryant
I made this recipe exactly as written and it was fabulous. I have to admit that I think I like it more before it was cooked than after – the filling is to die for!!! I am going to use the filling on icecream!!! Not to detract from how deliciouse the pie was once it was cooked. Love it!
Kyle Garza
I used 10 peaches, 2 Oz. spiced rum and everything else was as per recipe. This pie was excellent, fast and easy. Just my style. thank you.
Anthony Fox
Not sure why, but it did not taste good at all. Tart, weird spices, and did not look good. A waste of some great peaches.
Valerie Johnson
This is the best peach pie I have ever made. I will use this peach pie recipe over and over again. I find that you can also make peach cobbler out of this recipe. The cinnamon, cardamon, and ground allspice adds so much flavor to this recipe, it makes this pie soooo — delicious. I did leave out the rum , and used 1 tablespoon of vanilla. The next time I am going to use rum extact in place of the rum. This pie turned out so perfect. I would advise anyone that uses this recipe to use the fresh peaches has directed. I would rate this recipe has a 5 star recipe.
Arthur Carlson
Yes, everything is better with rum. Even peach pie. Couldn’t find any plain rum in the house, so I substituted some vanilla flavored rum, which went really well with the flavor of the peaches. I also substituted 1/3 cup of tapioca pudding for the 1/3 cup of flour. My great grandmother swore by tapioca to thicken pies and said you can substitute an equal amount in any recipe calling for flour. The filling thickened and the bottom crust did not get soggy. I will definitely make this again.
