Peach Pie

My sister-in-law, Jenny, makes a fabulous peach pie. Her recipe is the best of both grandmothers. My grandmother’s secret was to sprinkle the top of the pie with cinnamon and sugar. Jenny’s grandmother had the perfect filling.

You will want to take the time to make the crust yourself. Really it doesn’t take that much extra time and you get a wonderfully flaky crust!

Grandmother’s Pie Crust Recipe

For 2 crust pie:

  • 2 C. all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¾ C. shortening
  • 1/3 C. ice cold water

Sift flour and salt together.

Cut in shortening with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle water slowly into mixture.  I often use a food processor on pulse to do this.

Combine ingredients with hands; working quickly to form a ball.  Divide pie dough into 2 parts, trying not to handle it too much. If dough seems hard to work with you can wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour.

You could make a lattice crust top if you prefer.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes; then turn the oven down to 350 and bake for another 30 – 45 minutes until crust is golden brown. If you feel it is getting too brown before peaches are tender tent the pie with aluminum foil. Serve with vanilla ice cream. YUM!

  1. I love to bake but I am still learning the skill of making good pies. This one looks and sounds delicious. Can I use my frozen peaches for this? If so, should they stay frozen or should I thaw them?

  2. I made it and it had so much liquid! I’m not sure why the flour and sugar didn’t thicken the ingredients enough. Any suggestions?

  3. Thank you so much for all your ideas and recipes. They are wonderful. I enjoy them so much and look forward to the next one.

  4. YUM!! I would LOVE a big slice of this peach pie right now!! It looks incredibly delicious!!
