Peach Pie

On our way home from Utah last week we knew we would be stopping in Perry or Brigham City for two things.

One to eat at MADDOX'S and the other was to stop at the many fresh fruit stands along Hwy 89.

I knew that I did not want to can peaches this year, but I wanted fresh Utah peaches to eat.

Even though I was eating my fair share of these perfect fruits

 they were becoming soft  faster than I could eat them.

Solution:

Fresh Peach Pie

If you follow my blog you know I  rarely  follow  recipes.

so... I will tell you what I did with my Utah peaches.

I peeled and sliced my fruit.

adding about:

 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

and close to a 1/4 cup of  flour (to help thicken the juices)

some cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of ginger.

Softly mixing everything together

and adding it to the bottom pie crust.

I have an amazing pie crust recipe 

but today I went easy with the refrigerated Pillsbury

Kroger's pie crust in a box.

I roll out the top crust a little more ~ just because I like my top crust a little thinner.

I  use an egg white wash  and sprinkle the top of my pie with

granulated sugar, this makes the best sweet top to your pie.

I baked it for 30 mins at 350* and then another 10 mins or so at 400*

Just to get the "sugar top" that I want.

and WALA...

Fresh Peach Pie

Add a little whipped cream.

Sweet with the wonderful little punch of tartness from the fresh peaches.

YUMMY!

****UPDATE****

When I tasted my pie I kept thinking something is missing...

and then I knew what I forgot...

BUTTER...

I usually add about a tablespoon of  chopped butter and place it over the fruit.

I do this with apples too.
