We have been enjoying a lot of peaches around here lately. Here is a basic peach pie...simple as can be.
- Pastry for a 2 crust 9 inch pie (use your favorite recipe or purchase ready-made pastry.)
- 4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Minute Tapioca
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- Pre-heat oven to 400 °F.
- Roll pastry to line 9-10 inch pie plate. Roll out top crust and set aside.
- Mix peaches, sugar, tapioca and lemon juice. Pour into prepared pie shell.
- Dampen edges.
- Top with second crust.
- Trim and crimp edge to seal.
- Pierce top crust with fork to vent.
- Sprinkle top crust with sugar (optional).
- Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and continue to bake for another 40 minutes...or until filling is bubbling.
Allow to cool...then slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. And that is one of the delights of the season!
