Easy-Peel Peach Pie

(serves 4-5)

Ingredients:

• Pie Crust (store bought or home-made)

• 6 medium peaches

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/3 cup flour

• 2 teaspoons corn starch

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons butter (plus extra to grease your pie dish)

• 1 egg

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Grease your pie dish with extra butter and line it with your bottom crust.

2. Combine almond extract, lemon juice, flour, corn starch, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Stir ingredients together.

3. Slice your peaches to their desired thickness (about 1” thick slices) and add them to your mixing bowl. Toss them in with your mixture.

4. Add this peach filling to your pie dish. Then divide your 2 tablespoons of butter into 4 pieces and distribute them evenly in across the top of your filled dish.

5. Lay your top crust on top of the pie filling. Seal the edges of the pie by fluting the dough (stamping the dough with a fork or your fingers) around the edge of the pie pan.

6. Whisk your egg in a small bowl and brush the beaten egg across your top crust. Then, cut slits into the top crust so heat can escape while the pie is baking.

7. Bake for about 45 minutes until the top crust becomes golden brown and the pie is cooked all the way through. We recommend checking on the pie about 30 minutes into baking.

8. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
