Peach Pie

Great way to use your peaches in the summer!

My suggestions:
  • Instead of 10 peaches, you can also use 8 peaches and add in some blueberries
  • I like to top the peaches with some pats of butter on top
  • Brush with egg white, or soy milk to help make a nice brown color on the pie
  • Pie shields are great to use to prevent over-burning of the edges of the pie
Here's what I basically did:
  1. Preheat oven at 450
  2. Put bottom crust on pie dish
  3. Mix 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tbspn corn starch
  4. Mix above with peaches (and berries) and put in pie dish with bottom crust already laid down
  5. Put pats of butter on top of the filling
  6. Cover with top crust
  7. Brush with egg white wash or milk
  8. Cut slits on top
  9. Put pie crust on top
  10. in last 15 min of baking, remove pie crust
  11. Bake at 450 for 15 min, and then at 350 for 30 min
  12. Leave in oven to set
