One taste of this and you won’t be able to stop thinking about these.

I have made a lot of cookies in my lifetime, but bars are a whole other thing. I mean it is almost a cross between a cookie and cake so I figure why not just make one or the other, but these bars hold their own when it comes to flavor.

These are the kind of things that I remember being on plates at our 4-H meetings, or church potlucks. They are so yummy that even though you eat them with your fingers you wished you had thought to put them on a plate and use a fork.

But hey, you can lick your fingers all you want, no judgment here.

Speaking of Old Fashioned. Does anyone remember the “Dime A Dips” fundraisers? They used to have a huge potluck at the end of every month for our big 4-H club. Every scoop of food you put on your plate or piece of dessert cost a dime..get it? So really it didn’t cost that much to fill up, but then again we were the ones who brought the food.

The biggest thing was that you always watched to see if your dish was worth scooping up or taking a serving. This recipe is so amazing, not only were the bars gone, but I am almost certain someone licked the plate clean!

So grab a cake mix and an apron and mix it up a little. You will be glad you did and so will everyone else.

This is what Nicki of Che-In-training has to say about her recipe.

Yes, this is the same grandma that supplies a lot of the yummy recipes on this blog from her incredible cookbook she made and compiled of recipes she has had since she was first married.I could not stop eating them!

WOW! I did not know there was a National Day set aside just for Peach Pie. Celebrating that one for sure!

Ever since I learned how to make a decent pie crust I have really fallen in love with pie baking! Peach pie is one of my favorites.

A few years ago I toured one of my friends’s peach orchards. She is a 4th generation peach farmer in California.
We picked peaches off the tree and that night I made a pie. It was HEAVENLY to say the least. I didn’t add ice cream or shipped topping. Just mouthful of tree sweetened peaches baked between a flaky crust.

Oh My..There is ALWAYS time for Pie!

Being able to pick fruit that has been allowed to ripen on the tree is so much better than buying it green and having it ripen on the counter in your kitchen. The sugar content is a whole new ball game when you buy fruit directly from a farmer or at a farmer’s market.

When you are making pies or jam, don’t worry it there are a few blemishes. My daughter-in-law and I just bought a box of peaches that were considered 2nds but was exactly what we needed for making jam and cost half of full price. Now I wish we had picked up two boxes so we could have made a few pies!

This is what my great grandfather used to say about homemade pies.

There are only two kinds of pie I like. Warm or cold. :~D

Quick Tip:At first I was a bit nervous about making the lattice crust but then I read that making the lattice crust helped the moisture from the fruit evaporate and helped the crust to not get soggy.

This old fashioned pie is the epitome of resourcefulness and taste!

My grandparents moved to Salinas during the dust storms. It was a hard life. they had to work together and share what they had with others just for survival.

Having fruit and luxuries from the store just wasn’t always an option so the women had to be super resourceful and creative.

The one thing that many did have was milk, and buttermilk. So if they needed to make a pie for a Sunday dinner, or a church potluck, they could still use what they had.

It was simple, yet the perfect dessert with a strong cup of coffee. And the best part was, it was homemade.

Practicing the art of hospitality wasn’t something that had to be Pinterest perfect, it just had to be genuine.

Just like this pie. The real deal from the first bite, I think you will agree that this pie is a true treasure.

Comments by Kate Matthews of Shreport, Louisiana, a recipe contributor to Taste of Home Magazine:

“This recipe is older than I am and I was born in 1919! My mother and grandmother made this pie with buttermilk and eggs from our farm and set it on the tables at church meetings and social gatherings.”

Quick Tip: serve this with a side of your favorite fruit if it is in season such as cut up peaches or strawberries. It is perfect the way it is, but should you happen to have some fruit? That might just put this pie into the Hall of Fame!
