Family Tree Recipes

A recipe from Aunt Deb’s recipe box

First dessert recipe! I am a big lover of pie, but my husband is not, making this another recipe to feed guests with. I have never made peach pie before, so hoping to make Granny proud. The first thing I noticed about this recipe is… there is absolutely no mention of crust. In very unlike me fashion, I decided to use Pillsbury premade crust to make my life easier. Also, went for the special treat version of the recipe because honestly, who wouldn’t?

First cutting up the peaches. I ended up using 5 but definitely regret not using the 6th since the filling cooked down considerably.

Next the filling mixture, brown and white sugar, flour, salt, and the optional nutmeg.

Then layering the sugar mixture with the peaches. If I were to make this again, I would probably just mix everything together and dump it in rather than layering.

Once everything is in the bottom crust, put the top crust over, crimp the edges, and poke some steam holes in the middle. But do a better job than me because the whole top pretty much floated off mine in the oven.

I baked mine at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.

This pie turned out much better than I expected! With how juicy the peaches were I thought for sure the bottom would be soggy AF, but it wasn’t at all. The filling distribution wasn’t great, and my pie top was not firmly attached, but it tasted good so who cares, right?
