Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. Fresh peaches bring natural sweetness and a juicy texture to your pie.
Slice peaches and toss them with sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. This simple mix creates a sweet, flavorful filling with a hint of spice.
Select ripe yet firm bananas for the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Evenly layer slices over the custard for a deliciously fruity bite.
Spread the custard gently over the banana layer. Make sure it’s evenly distributed to create a pie that’s picture-perfect with every slice.
Whip up fresh cream and sugar for a fluffy, cloud-like topping. Generously spread it over the custard and bananas to crown your pie.
Refrigerate your pie for at least two hours to let the flavors meld. This step ensures your banana cream pie is firm and easy to slice.
Grandma’s apple pie tastes even better when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, adding a creamy contrast to the warm pie.
