Crazy Pie Week Recipe #2

WP's Beach Peach Pie

One of the founders of the company that I work for has a beach house on Fenwick Island, DE and brought back some farm stand peaches on his trip back. When he found out that I've been making pies, he brought them in and asked me to make his favorite - peach pie. I supplemented with a few grocery store peaches to make sure there were enough, but the real stars were the ripe farm stand peaches. My first made-to-order pie... felt weird because I didn't get to eat any of it.

Ingredients
pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
5 cups fresh peaches, sliced
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar


Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Stir together flour, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon and set aside. Wash, peel, and slice fresh peaches.

Mix together peaches with the combined dry ingredients. Turn into pastry-lined pie pan and dot with butter.

Cover with top crust, cut slits in it, seal the edges. Sprinkle top with 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Cover the edges with foil to prevent over browning; remove foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through the slits in the crust.
