I was researching my love of dulce de leche and learned that a Latin American treat is roasted peaches or apricots topped with dulce de leche. Doesn’t that sound absolutely delicious? I love, love, love peaches and nectarines and apricots, which you can tell from a few of my recipes like Instant Pot Upside Down Apricot Cake and Brown Butter Peach Upside Down Cake.
We had friends coming over, and I needed a dessert. I decided to try a variation of that Latin American treat, and I made a Dulce de Leche Peach Pie. Oh my goodness! My husband inhaled his slice. I’ve never seen him enjoy a dessert like that before. Nate is not much for sweets. Even his buddy was laughing at how fast he ate it.
If you need an amazing and indulgent dessert for Valentine’s Day, this Dulce de Leche Peach Pie is perfect. I took a short cut with store bought pie crust. If you don’t want to cheat, I have an amazing pie crust recipe, which can be found here.
If you want to make your pie into a pretty Valentine’s theme, take a tiny heart cookie cutter, such as from a Linzer cookie cutter (I recently found a whole set at Walmart from Wilton brand for $1.25), and cut out little heart shapes in the top crust. Then arrange the little hearts on top of the pie.
I wanted more heart cut outs than I could really cut in the actual crust, so I took the extra crust I cut off the edge and cut more and placed them on the pie crust. I think it came out so cute and Valentine-y!

Where do you find Dulce de Leche?? I need to make this!!
It’s in the Hispanic food aisle. They have it at Walmart. Look for Le Lechera by Nestles. They have a few different kinds. Get the one that looks like this:
This looks so amazing! I am definitely going to have to try out this pie in the summer!
This pie is so pretty, love all the hearts. Then we get to peaches and dulce de leche. I can’t wait for the peaches to be ready because this is the first thing I am going to make!
How big is a bag of peaches? I think they come in more than one size…
I meant two bags of the smaller size, but I bet one big bag would work, too.
