Making Peaches and Cream Pie involves several straightforward steps. Follow this guide to create the perfect pie:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
3. Bake Crust: Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
4. Prepare Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly.
5. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract into the peach mixture, ensuring even distribution.
6. Fill the Pie: Pour the peach filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake Pie: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and the filling is bubbly.
8. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
9. Make Cream Topping: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and almond extract until soft peaks form.
10. Serve: Top the cooled pie with whipped cream before serving.
