My New Happy: Perfect Peach Pie

Perfect Peach Pie


It's peach season in Washington, where we grow some of the largest, sweetest varieties in the country.  My hubby went to Eastern Washington on business this week, and he brought home a box of Regina peaches.  A whole box of peaches!!  Time to make a pie. Remember, I am not an accomplished baker - this is a very easy recipe.  I use pre-made pie crusts, but if you have a great crust recipe, by all means....



Perfect Peach Pie


Pastry for double crust 9 inch pie
5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Stir together flour, 1 cup sugar and cinnamon.  Mix together peaches with the combined dry ingredients.  Pour into pastry lined pie pan and dot with butter.  Cover with top crust, seal the edges, and cut slits. Sprinkle top with 2 tablespoons sugar.  Cover the edges with foil to prevent over browning.  Remove foil for last 15 minutes of baking.  Bake 35-45 minutes, or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through the slits in the crust.



Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  We'll be busy today helping some friends at their annual fundraiser.  I'll share more in a future blog post, but here's a hint...

  1. YUM, YUM peach pie and vanilla ice cream. I like to bottle peaches. On a cold winters night a dish of peaches and a piece of toast makes a great snack.

  8. I have been on a hunt for good peaches and not the ones in the grocery store.
