A couple weekends ago, I went peach-picking in Fredericksburg with some friends. Had a good time hanging out with everyone, and we came back with a LOT of peaches! So I decided to try my hand at making a peach pie. I started volunteering with the TX Pie Kitchen a couple months ago (http://www.texaspiekitchen.com/Texas_Pie_Kitchen/Home.html), and I've learned a few tips and tricks along the way. Despite all the recent experience with pie-making, I felt nervous doing it on my own...good thing Wender was there, so we were able to do it together!
I rolled out the dough while she peeled and sliced up the peaches. Then we did the mixing and formed the lattice topping (I know, fancy right?) together. We used a recipe from America's Test Kitchen cookbook, and it turned out great! The pie wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, and the crust was nice and buttery- I won't mention how many sticks of butter we used, but I'm sure you can guess!
Oh and here's a plug for the TX Pie Kitchen- please let me know if you'd ever like to purchase a pie to support this non-profit, and I can put in an order for you and will be sure I have a hand in making it. :)
