Farmer’s Market Peach Pie

Aug 9, 2009 by Rochelle

Yesterday I picked up some peaches at the farmer’s market, which I didn’t intentionally go to, but happened to be at the right place at the right time. So last evening I made a peach pie, which is my favorite of all the fruit pies. I’m not a big fruit pie person, but I do love peach pie. It turned out divine. Here’s the recipe I used:

Ingredients:

pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
5 cups fresh peaches, sliced (six peaches for me)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:

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