A classic and delicious peach pie, just like your grandma would have made. Best with summer peaches, freshly picked from the orchard. Enjoy warm with old-fashioned vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)*
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- pinch salt
- 2 discs Pie Dough (You can find my pie dough recipe here).
* If peaches are tree-ripened, they will be juicier. In this case, increase flour to 4 tablespoons.
Directions
| Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out one pie dough disc on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Drape pie pan with dough. Set aside and keep chilled. Peel and slice peaches and place in mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and gently toss until all ingredients have been mixed in with the peaches. Pour filling into pie shell. Roll the remaining dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Drape over peach filling. Trim, leaving 1/2-inch overhang, fold under, crimp edges and poke holes in top with a fork. Bake until filling is bubbling in the center and crust is golden brown – 45 – 50 minutes. (If the peaches used are tree-ripened, the pie may take longer to bake because the peaches will be much juicier. If this is the case, cover the crust with foil once it’s golden brown and continue to bake until the center filling is bubbling). Cool on wire rack. | |
IT'S ME, SERENA!
I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.
I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.
I share more about my life story from time to time, here on my blog. You can also find me on Instagram, and Facebook.
