Before 2010, I had never eaten a fresh peach pie. I know, it’s
a classic, and as such it was one of our first pies of the month. I had
partaken in those frozen knock-offs, but this exceeded any previous experiences
or expectations.
Here were some of the ingredients gathered together to pose
for the camera. It was more of a casual shot though, like I caught them in the
middle of a party where the background hasn’t quite been cleaned up, rather
than posing them as I have done in recent days.
My sister is a peach-peeling fiend. Look at those skills!
We used about 6 luscious peaches, although I think we could
have easily fit in 1 or 2 more.
We sliced them very thinly so they would be coated with lots
of spices!
I believe the words that were said right before this photo was
snapped was, “Let’s get a group picture of the peaches!” But seriously, aren’t
they beautiful? We poured a little lemon juice over them too.
Besides the peach-slicing action, the rest of this pie is
pretty simple to throw together. Just mix together all the dry ingredients –
flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg – and then stir them into
the peaches to season and thicken them!
Meanwhile, make the pie crust! We also found a tip to brush it
with a beaten egg or some milk to prevent sogginess.
And that’s it! Pour the filling into the crust…
…and top with a lattice crust! Remember to brush the top with
egg or milk too, and sprinkle some sugar on before baking too, if you’re so
inclined!
We let ours cool for 2 or 3 hours before serving, so it had
time to thicken up and sliced rather cleanly.
This is a delicious way to enjoy those tasty summer peaches!
