Southern Peach “Pie”
Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. I call this “pie” because it tastes like the middle of a peach pie; just no crust. I call it Southern because the Southerners are known for putting cinnamon and nutmeg in their peach pie recipes.
Servings: 1 serving is ½ cup
Ingredients:
- 16oz bag of frozen piece segments or 3 cups of fresh peach wedges
- ¼ cup of water
- 2-1/2 tsp of cornstarch
- 1 Tbl lemon juice
- 1/3 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/3 tsp of nutmeg
- 1-1/2 tsp of organic vanilla
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If using frozen peaches try to let them sit on the counter for 15 minutes or so before assembling. It would be good to have them semi-thawed.
Put the peaches in a bowl. Stir the cornstarch into the water until it dissolves. Then pour that over the peaches. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to distribute the spices and vanilla.
Pour into an ovenproof pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
If your peaches have a lot of ice on them this mixture might be a bit runny compared to a regular pie but it’s still great. I’d rather not add more cornstarch because corn starch contains 7 grams of carbohydrate per teaspoon.
Serve hot, cold or room temperature.
Leftovers transport easily and can be reheated in a microwave.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
Cranberry Sauce “Zolafied”
Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!

Did you post how many servings this makes, or did I just miss it? Juanita
Does these take the place of your fruit at your meal? And I did not know we could have corn starch on zreduction? How much is a serving?
The serving size is listed on the recipe at 1/2 cup. This will make more than one serving.
Your corn starch allotment has to be very limited. I try to get away with as little as possible because one tsp of 7 grams of carbs. So follow the amount I allow in a recipe very carefully. If you stall you might have to back off of treats that are thickened with the corn starch.
And, yes, it is your fruit portion.
