Peach Pie Recipe

NOTE: You will need less sugar if canned peaches are used instead of fresh ones because they are usually canned with sugar. 

PEACH PIE RECIPE

• 1 plain pie pastry mixture
• qt. sliced peaches
• 3/4 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 3 Tb. flour

• Prepare pastry mixture and set aside. 
• Fill the lower crust with the sliced peaches and sprinkle with the sugar, salt, and flour, which have been previously mixed. 
• Moisten the edge of the lower crust, cover with the top crust, and bake in a moderately hot oven for 30 to 40 minutes. 
• Peach pie like this, served hot or warm with ice cream or whipped cream makes a very delicious dessert.

PLAIN PASTRY

• 1-1/2 c. flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/3 c. shortening
• 1/4 to 3/8 c. water

• Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. 
• Chop the shortening into the flour with fork, knives or any tool you like to use. 
• When the fat has been chopped into pieces the size of a small pea, add sufficient cold water to make all the particles adhere, mixing them together with a pastry blender or knife. There should not be enough water added to make the paste stick to either the bowl or the knife. 
• Divide the mass into halves and press each into a round piece with the fingers. Flour the board slightly and roll out about 1/8 inch thick for the pie crust.
