Fresh Peach Pie

This recipe for Fresh Peach Pie has a lot of flavor. Pie Crusts Recipe

6 cups fresh peach slices
1 cup sugar
¼ cup water
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Baked single pie crust

For fresh peaches, you will need to ‘slip’ the skin. Do this by bringing a pot of water to boil and remove from heat. Half fill your sink or a large bowl with very cold water.

Put 3 or 4 peaches in the hot water for about 1 minute and using a long handled spoon move them to the cold water. The peach skin will slip right off and then just slice and measure. Set aside a few peaches that are the juicier and softer ones for mashing.

Put 4 cups of the firmer sliced peaches into a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.

In a saucepan, mix sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the 2 cups of diced softer peaches to sugar mixture with the water. Simmer slowly in covered pan, until peaches soften about 20 minutes and mash with potato masher.

Mix 3 tbls of water and cornstarch and add to peaches and keep stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool about 15 minutes.

Arrange the 4 cups of peach slices in cooled, baked pie shell and pour filling over fruit and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate for a couple hours to set up.
