Summer is here! Or it will be tommorow. And what’s summer without our favorite summer foods like peach pie? The other day my sister gave me a delicious peach pie recipe that has a wonderfully flaky crust. So, I decided to get some peaches to make my first pie of summer. This recipe is an easy one that even a begining pie maker can succeed at. So drop all of your fears about not knowing how to make a good pie, go out and get the ingredients for this recipe, and let’s get baking!
First start with eight peaches.
Peal peaches and remove the pits.
Slice the peaches into thin uniform slices.
Put your sliced peaches in a bowl and add 2/3 cup of sugar.
Add three tablespoons of flour.
Mix in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Mix everything together thoroughly.
Now set the peaches aside and start mixing up your pie crust. Put two cups of flour in a bowl and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 1/4 cup of water to the flour.
Mix together until it looks like the dough is ready to be rolled out. You can add a little more water or oil if the dough is too crumbly.
Roll the crust out between two pieces of waxed paper. Roll out until very thin.
Form the dough in the bottom of a pie plate.
Pour the peaches in the pie plate.
Now you can make the crumble top. Mix 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a bowl.
Now cut in 1/4 cup of butter till the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle over filling. I also cut out 3 small hearts out of the extra pie crust and set them on top of the crumble and brushed them with milk and sprinkled them with brown sugar.
Now bake the pie in a 375 degree oven for 50-60 minutes or until the pie is golden brown.
