The Best Peach Pie
In the past, I have shared several pies,No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie,Mile High Strawberry Jello Pie andThe Best Key Lime Pie to name a few. However, this is my first attempt at making a baked pie crust from scratch. In my opinion, although it didn't look perfect, it was delicious. It was slow much easier than I expected.
Using fresh peaches and some brown sugar and cinnamon help give this pie the perfect flavor. It isn't overly sweet so you taste the full flavor of the peaches. I have to say I wish I would have started learning to bake when I was younger. My father would have loved this pie. I wish I could make it for him. I remember my husband asking me years ago why my sister Dixie could bake so well and I couldn't lol. Well now that I'm learning, he doesn't eat sweets. Go figure
