Peach Pie from Delaware
Delaware’s peach pie, a delectable symbol of the state’s rich agricultural history, stands out as a beloved local specialty. Its origins are rooted in Delaware’s 19th-century status as the nation’s leading peach producer when peaches were dubbed “Delaware’s gold.” This legacy inspired the creation of the peach pie.
Officially the state dessert since 2009, it features ripe, juicy peaches encased in a flaky, buttery crust, often spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg to enhance its natural sweetness. The result is a warm, comforting feast that encapsulates the essence of Delaware’s culinary heritage. Its popularity extends beyond state borders, drawing in peach enthusiasts and pie lovers alike.
