Microwave Peach Pie With Fresh Peaches: No Bake Dessert! - Dinners Done Quick (2024)

I love an amazing homemade pie just as much as the next person. However, if you don’t have at least an hour to bake it, don’t want to turn on the oven in the heat of the summer, or don’t have an oven in your tiny living space, then you’ll love this microwave peach pie recipe!

What is a Microwave Peach Pie?

I know, you’re already saying to yourself ‘peach pie? In the microwave? Really?’ Believe me; I get it. Don’t get delusions of grandeur here – it’s not going to be the same as an oven baked traditional pie.

However, the microwave can make a mean homemade peach pie filling using fresh peaches, with no stove required! Then, I just pop it into a pre-baked pie crust (that part is key), finish it with a crumb topping (no double crusts here, sorry) and finish it off.

Will it be golden brown? Nope. Will it be sweet, peachy, and delicious tasting? Yes!

Microwave peach pie is a recipe of convenience. It’s a great option if you don’t have an oven, don’t want to turn it on for over an hour in the heat of the summer, or you’re really short on time.

Microwave Peach Pie Ingredients

• 1 prebaked pie crust (I use a 9” Keebler shortbread crust)
• 6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 cups of fruit)
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch

For the Crumb Topping (Optional)

• ½ cup all purpose flour
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup salted butter (softened)

Ingredient Tips and Substitutions

• Other prebaked pie crust types are fine as well (such as graham or plain)
• You can also use frozen (defrosted) peaches or canned (drained) peaches instead of fresh
• Feel free to skip the crumb topping if you want, but it adds a nice touch in place of a crust. You could also top with whipped cream!
• If your prepared crust comes in an aluminum pan, make sure to remove the metal pan and transfer the crust to a microwave-safe pie plate of some sort before heating it

How to Make Microwave Peach Pie

1. In a microwave safe bowl, mix the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch

2. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 5 minutes, pausing halfway to stir the mixture

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients and mix until clumps form (which is easiest with your hands, or a pastry cutter if you have one). If needed, also transfer your prebaked pie crust out of the foil pan and into a microwave-safe pie dish

4. After the peaches have finished cooking, transfer them into the prepared pie crust and smooth out. Then, top evenly with the crumb topping

5. Microwave for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the topping is bubbly set
6. Allow the pie to cool so the filling firms before serving; usually a couple of hours is ideal (you can place it in the refrigerator to speed up this process)

7. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired

Recipe FAQs

Microwave Peach Pie Recipe Pro Tips

• You can also choose to make the filling only in the microwave, and then transfer it to a traditional pie crust for baking in the oven. This skips the classic step of having to cook it over the stove to thicken!
• Note that when choosing a prebaked pie shell, try to look for one without damage. When I made my pie today, mine was cracked and made the transfer to a pie plate extremely difficult. While messy, it still tasted great! But, try to save yourself the headache and use a sturdy one, purchase one in a microwave-friendly wrapper, or don’t bake it at all (add the filling to the pie crust directly after baking and skip the additional topping) for best results

Storage and Reheating Tips for Peach Pie

• Store leftover peach pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days
• Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until warm, if desired (but it’s also great cold)!

Final Thoughts

Microwave peach pie is a super simple way to make a no bake version of the classic dessert. Is it the same as oven baked? No. However, it’s sweet, packed with fresh juicy peaches, delicious, and incredibly convenient to make.

This is a great choice when you don’t have an hour to bake a pie, don’t want to turn on the oven in the summer, or don’t even have an oven because you have a small living space. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a tasty version of peach pie!

You can also swap in frozen or canned peaches if you can’t get fresh, or if you don’t want to spend the time peeling and cutting them. Top it up with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired, and enjoy this simple dessert!
