That’s Just PEACHY! Alert- National Peach Pie Day is August 24 but this recipe can be made at anytime!
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.
