peaches are my favorite, and i love peach season more than anything. i wait all year for my mom's peach pie. it is honestly the best pie ever. my mom and i made four on saturday, and i was planning to take a picture so i could post it but davis and i already ate ours. the crust is delicious, it tastes like a shortbread cookie. mmmmmm.
Crust:
1 stick butter-soft
1 cup flour
3 T sugar
Combine using pastry cutter or fork. Press into greased pie pan and bake on 375 for 15 minutes.
6-7 peeled peaches-lemon alberta is the best variety for pies.
In a saucepan on medium to medium high (don't get it too hot or it will burn), take 2 or 3 of the peaches and smash with fork or cut them into chunks. Add 2 Tablespoons cornstarch and cook until it thickens up substantially. (about 10 minutes.)
Slice the remaining peaches straight into the cooked pie shell. Pour the peach/sauce over the fresh sliced peaches. Make sure to cover the peaches completely, it seals in the peaches and keeps them fresh.
Chill in the fridge until cool.

I'm wondering why there is such a difference in the two peach pie recipes. Does the one with just peaches and cornstarch have enough to cover a pie??? my email is grandmaforsyth@gmail.com. Thanks
