Peach Pie (No Sugar Added!)

Warm weather brings many gifts. From sunshine and flowers to beach vacations and sun-kissed skin, there is plenty to celebrate with the arrival of longer days. However, there’s one simple, very sweet reason why we look forward to summer: It’s peach season! We take advantage of the seasonal summer bounty by using fresh peaches in this healthy peach pie recipe.

Peaches are a unique fruit with a sweet yet tart taste, a beautiful color and an impressive nutritional profile. Fresh peaches are so good, we didn’t even need to add extra sugar to this pie! According to Healthline, “fresh peaches have higher levels of antioxidants and appear to be more effective at protecting against oxidative damage than canned ones.” Antioxidants help to boost the immune system and protect against free radicals, oxidative damage, disease and aging. Peaches are also rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium and fiber.

If you want an even easier way to use up your fresh peaches, fire up the grill! You can prepare grilled peaches easily by slicing them in half and removing the pits. For more flavor, brush them lightly with honey and sprinkle them with a little bit of cinnamon. Put the peach halves on the grill with the cut side down and cook for eight to 10 minutes, until the fruit is hot throughout.
