Apple Bourbon Peach Pie is loaded with fresh, juicy peaches and a hint of Jim Beam Apple Bourbon in an all butter crust.

Let’s face it, peaches and bourbon go hand in hand. I mean who wouldn’t love sweet juicy peaches soaked in sugary Jim Beam Apple Bourbon? Pair that with the flaky all butter crust and you have the perfect summer pie.
We like to head east of the mountains to get our fresh peaches by the box. Yes, layers of huge, juicy peaches just picked from the trees of Eastern Washington. I can never wait until we get them home. One bite and it’s dripping all the way down your arm. It’s peach perfection.

Once you do get them home. Apple Bourbon Peach Pie is a cinch to make! Of course, you could omit the Jim Beam Apple Bourbon and make a simple peach pie. It’s just as tasty. But, if you happen to have it on hand, I would suggest trying it. It adds that little bit of extra goodness to your pie.
Ingredients in Apple Bourbon Peach Pie
- Peaches – 8 extra large peaches, fresh from the farm.
- Apple Bourbon – Jim Beam Apple Bourbon gives this pie an extra touch.
- Pantry Items – Butter, flour, sugar, egg
Why All Butter?
Butter = Flaky It’s that simple.
Everyone has their favorite crust. My mom uses Crisco, some people use a blend of shortening and butter, but I prefer straight butter. I feel butter gives an extra flaky crust with the best natural flavor. Shortening seems to have a less desirable after taste.
Tips to make your pie crust a success:
- Use cold butter
- Grate butter
- Use very cold water
- Work quickly
- Avoid over mixing
