Best Peach Pie Ever
I love all the fabulous fruit that summer has to offer - all the wonderful Berries, Grapes and of course those fabulous Peaches, Nectarines and Plums. Oh my goodness, I just can't seem to get enough. While we still have some of these treasures in the grocery, I have been on a wild baking spree. This is the Best Peach Pie Ever so be sure to give it a try.
Servings: 6 lg slices
Ingredients
- 6 Peaches
- 1/2 c flour
- 1/2 c sugar
- 2 tblsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. almond extract
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Peel peaches and cut into medium chunks - place in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice, almond extract and vanilla, stir to coat all the peaches.
- In a small bowl mix flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, stir well, then pour over peaches. Stir to make sure all peaches are coated.
- Line a 9" pie pan with one crust. (I cheat and use the ready made crust that comes two in the box from the deli case. I find them where the canned biscuits are.) Brush bottom with beaten egg so crust is not soggy later. Pour peach mixture into pie crust, spread out evenly and then top with second crust. Crimp edges to seal and then brush top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Cut a few slits in top to let the heat escape as it cooks.
- Bake in 450° for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350° for an additional 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a rack and enjoy.
Notes
Serve warm or cold alone or with a scoop of ice cream. Your family will ask for more.
